Direct Payment Carrier

If the airline is a Direct Payment/Travelport API Connect airlines a different path for completing
the purchase is required. Most airlines will require payment at the time of the booking. In some
cases additional information may be required to complete the booking.
Direct Payment Carriers may be booked in Travelport Smartpoint using traditional availability and
shopping requests.
All low fare search and TAS (Travelport Aggregated Search) searches will be routed by Smartpoint
to the SOA Shared Services.
Direct Payment Carriers load their own data and agents can access this content alongside the Tra-
ditional GDS carrier fares through Travelport Smartpoint.
All fares are obtained directly from the carrier during the shopping and pricing process. When a
shop request is sent to a Direct Payment Carrier, the carrier will return available flights and fares.
They do not return flights that are not available.
Modify and cancel are supported through Travelport Aggregated Shopping, if the carrier supports
them via their API. The form of payment is sent to the carrier for purchase, the agency does not
issue the ticket. Direct Payment Carriers and full service carriers may be booked in the same PNR,
but must be purchased and ticketed separately.
Direct Payment airlines are indicated by a # symbol just left of the carrier code in the Fare Shop
Response screen.
The same # indicator is displayed to the left of the carrier code in the PNR Viewer.
If you choose a Direct Payment carrier from The Fare Shop Response, you must use Travelport Aggreg-
ated Shopping (TAS) commands to price and shop for ancillary services. You will see an alert message on
197
the bottom left of the screen indicating that you must use FS or ZFS entries to access the Interactive Seat
Maps.

Passport, Nationality and Issue Country are also saved.
When selecting a title for the passenger, be aware of the titles (name prefixes) that the airline
accepts.
If a child and/or infant is being booked, ensure that the first name field is an adult. If an Adult is
not in the first name field, some Direct Payment/Travelport API Connect airlines will fail the book-
ing.
Best Practice: use the Lowcost Selling form to input customer names and titles if the airline
being booked requires a title.
The CC Number field should include the credit card type followed by the card number in the
format of XXnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn where XX is the vendor code and n represents the card number.

eNett Virtual Account Number (VAN)

This is available from the HELP menu:
eNett VAN (Virtual Account Number) is a payment solution that automatically generates a MasterCard
account number to facilitate payments to travel suppliers.
VANs are available to IATA and non-IATA agents, and are a secure and widely accepted means of paying
suppliers, whether they are around the corner or across the globe.
Each VAN is a one-time use, 16-digit virtual MasterCard that can be issued as a payment (FOP) to any sup-
plier that accepts MasterCard. A unique number is automatically generated for each new transaction.
All customers on Galileo Desktop (Focalpoint), Travelport Smartpoint on Apollo and Galileo (Version 3.0
and above) and Travelport Smartpoint on Worldspan Go! (Version 5.3 and above) will see the eNett VAN
as a new FOP entry on all payment drop-down menus.
Show Screen
Note: Each agency customer must sign up for a eNett VAN account and credit money to their account.
Only customers in eNett supported countries with an active account will be able to use the eNett VAN ser-
vice.
When the eNett VAN option is selected, the following screen is displayed:

General Overview
Travelport Smartpoint has been created as an add-on to Galileo Desktop that infuses the cryptic envir-
onment with a hybrid of native and point and click navigation, plus graphical user interfaces designed to
speed up the booking process, reduce call handling time and improve the user experience.
Travelport Smartpoint effectively reduces keystrokes, contributes to increased efficiencies and speeds up
the agent booking process.
Travelport Smartpoint is an example of how the technology of an XML API Desktop product can be integ-
rated with the Galileo Desktop platform to supplement cryptic and point and click navigation with graph-
ical user interfaces and to seamlessly guide an agent through the booking process. Travelport Smartpoint
support both Galileo and Travelport Smartpoint core systems and allows agents to work on both systems
using either system language.
Travelport Smartpoint further improves and streamlines point & click navigation and allows the agent to
enter either Galileo or Travelport Smartpoint terminal emulation transaction commands to invoke any
GDS function, returning highlighted items (an interactive response) that the user can click on to transmit
core transaction, book and complete reservation
To assist when reporting any Travelport Smartpoint issues please confirm the version of Travelport
Smartpoint that is being used. You can gain this information by asking the user to click on Help >
About
Note This Version must be the Global Launched version (V. XXXX ADD VERSION) or higher
235
Automatic Opening of Travelport Smartpoint

Travelport Smartpoint is automatically launched when a user opens Galileo Desktop.
When a user logs into Travelport Smartpoint, it will also log the user into Galileo Desktop.
By default Travelport Smartpoint provides a basic layout that consists of:
The Terminal Window to enter formats and obtain general responses

The PNR Viewer automatically refreshes the booking file
When a user selects <CTRL>+<F12> keys they will still see the sign on box for Galileo Desktop.
Please select cancel and then select Terminals to work on Galileo Desktop or select one of the other but-
tons to work in Smartpoint.
236
Synchronization Error
Travelport Smartpoint and Galileo Desktop use the same session and occasionally they can get out of
synch and the following error is returned:
Resolution: Have user toggle to Galileo Desktop and enter <Ctrl> + <R > keys, which should resolve the
error.
237
Relay Productivity Tools

Travelport Smartpoint had been developed for Relay Productivity Tools to work in Travelport Smartpoint.
Relay Itinerary Capture is for Travelport Smartpoint(Apollo) customers only, but the icon is downloaded
to GalileoCustomers and this function will not work for a Galileo customer.
238
Galileo Desktop and Smartpoint Connection

A user that may have multiple GTID Connections to the Apollo and/or Galileo host(s). The need for mul-
tiple GTID connection could be due to but not limited to the following:
Relationship with another customer or supplier requiring a Fifth Window setup

Relationship with independent contractors
Require access to a core in a GUI Desktop (note: Smartpoint does support Switchable Access)
Prior to Travelport Smartpoint, the tool a user utilized to switch between GTID connections was through
the Host/Galileo Desktop TCP/IP Configuration tool.
With Travelport Smartpoint, GTID connections can be managed through the connections drop down
A user switching between multiple GTID connection may log into Galileo Desktop and then launch/toggle
to Travelport Smartpoint and receive a log in box again. After entering their User and Password and click-
ing okay, the log in prompt may appear again. And the process just keeps repeating.
Resolution: Most likely cause is their GTID connection from the Galileo Desktop TCP/IP is set to one
GTID connection and this did not synch to Travelport Smartpoint which is set to a different GTID
connection. Have the user change their GTID Connections to match.
239
Keyboard Mapping
Travelport Smartpoint is designed to accommodate non-standard keyboards including Sabre keyboard
mapping which uses special characters including the cross of Lorraine, and also Swiss keyboards.
Click My Connection at the top of the Terminal Window, and click the Keyboard Mapping drop-down:
Select the required keyboard mapping and save the settings.
To utilize GDS keyboard mapping, user may select the Apollo keyboard mapping in the Galileo TCP/IP set-
tings in the Control Panel. This enables you to use special characters including the pillow ([]) end item
(+), display (*) dollar sign ($) and colon (:).
The SOM key is Not mapped to the keyboard If the user types what is normally a mapped SOM on their
Galileo Desktop keyboard (the tila ~ key) they will receive the ~ or ` before their GDS format resulting in
errors.
Resolution: If the user needs to type in a SOM they will need to utilize the <SHIFT> + < . > keys (to
enable the right arrow key on their keyboard).
240
Fare Issues
When an user tries to view a fares display (e.g. FD20JANCDGLON/BA) Travelport Smartpoint may return
the following Error "AGENT NOT AUTHORISED"
This is not a Travelport Smartpoint Error. Please check the users AAT field PFII. Travelport Smartpoint
requires that the PFII field in the AAT is set to Y in order for the Fare Display requests to function prop-
erly.
This message is not an error, but actually means that the modifier being used has not been implemented
in Travelport Smartpoint. It is important to remember that not all modifiers supported by Travelport
Smartpoint/Galileo are implemented in Travelport Smartpoint. Travelport continues to enhance Travel-
port Smartpoint as a result of the feedback provided by customers.
241
Apps That Have Been Downloaded

If in a previous version of Travelport Smartpoint if a user had created some quick commands to link to
local applications, when 3.0 of Travelport Smartpoint is downloaded the quick command information is
not being saved. The file will still be on the device in the same location,i.e. - C:\Program Files\Travel-
port\Travelport EMDGenerator\XMLs .
Please contact your account manager or regional support manager if you need further assistance with
this.
242
Structured Data Issues That Affect Travelport Smartpoint

Travelport Smartpoint has a reliance on structured data, and some of the issues experienced are due to
gaps in the structured data which mean that Smartpoint is unable to show some information as it is not
being presented in the Key Logic Records (KLRs) and exposed to the XML API desktop.
The Travelport Smartpoint product and development teams have identified these issues and are now reli-
ant on other areas of the business making changes so that these fixes can then be implemented into
Travelport Smartpoint.
Known issues to date reliant on structured data:
When FEX is used as a form of payment, the exchange ticket number is missing
Creating initials appear as numeric in PNR retrieve
Car avail results discrepancy between Travelport Smartpoint and Galileo Desktop Focalpoint
Ticketing agency modifier not shown/ And VC mod not being shown
Name not correctly shown in SVC segment when booing containing an EMD is displayed in Travel-
port Smartpoint
243
Airline Fare Map

Route is incorrect for certain journeys going across the International Date Line. The map is for
illustration only and is not a true reflection of the route the journey will take
Note: Targeted for fix in Travelport Smartpoint v5.0
244
Hotel Maps
Not all hotels are shown on the new map display - This is a limitation of the current geo-location
data that is available from the host for hotels.
In the example below, 12 hotels are returned in Hotel Availability but only 7 are plotted on the map.
245
Limited Access Drop Through

Limited Access Drop Through is not supported in Travelport Smartpoint.
Limited Drop Through allows a user to "drop through" into an airlines system to update group bookings.
The functionality also allows a user to subsequently issue a ticket using a passive Booking File in the
Galileo system.
Participating Carriers: AF, BA, LH, SV, IB, OS
Format Example: @@XX/GROUP XX=airline code
Resolution: User can switch to native mode from the terminal menu to remain in Travelport Smartpoint
and access limited access drop through.
246
Switchable Access
Switchable Access is not supported in Travelport Smartpoint. This feature allows a user to switch
between Galileo and Apollo Hosts with the need for separate GTIDS.
For Apollo: 6C1V is the format to switch to Apollohost, 6C1G is the format to switch to
Galileo host
For Galileo: ##1V is the format to switch to Apollo host, ##1G is the format to switch to
Galileo host
If a user utilizes Switchable Access while in Galileo Desktop Terminal and then launches or toggles
to Travelport Smartpoint, they will receive the following error message dialog box:
Resolution: Either Switch to Native mode from the Terminal drop-down menu or type <CTRL>+<N>
keys or toggle back to Galileo Desktop Terminal and switch back to primary GDS host.
Note: Switching to Native mode will disable interactive click-able links and colors in Travelport Smart-
point.
247
Unsupported Entries
Unsupported entries- some entries are not supported in Travelport Smartpoint this will result in a
warning triangle being shown.
If there is no data returned in Travelport Smartpoint and it is a valid entry then the user can retry
using the semi colon ( ; ) for Galileo or exclamation ( ! ) for Apollo and send a standard cryptic
command.

Known Issues for Travelport Smartpoint v4.0 Apollo

Notes about ACH cancel in TAS:
When the agent does XI cryptic command to cancel an entire GDS reservation, a cancel request is
sent and upon a successful response, the GDS flights and the ZK segments representing the ACH
flights are canceled, and remarks are added to the PNR indicating the cancellation information.
If the agent submits a cryptic command that cancels only certain segments, but the segments spe-
cified represent an entire ACH reservation, cancel request is sent and upon a successful response,
specified segments are removed from the GDS PNR and appropriate remarks are added, doc-
umenting the cancellation.
If the cancel request fails, TAS will return an error and Travelport Smartpoint will display this
error in the terminal window.
Airlines may restrict changes after booking. In order to make a change, use cryptic commands, not GUI
screens, to make the desired changes to the PNR then end transact (E, ET, ER). These changes will be
processed by Travelport Aggregated Shopping (TAS) and could require additional information to be
provided using TAS formats. For example, TAS might prompt for a form of payment to cover changes
fees.
Changes should be made via cryptic commands rather than a GUI.
Best Practice: Make any changes or cancellations to Direct Payment bookings via cryptic com-
mands, not via a GUI.
Issues, Limitations, and things to be Aware of
Be aware that when Direct Payment airline flights are sold, the airline could charge the purchase
price in a different currency than Travelport Smartpoint has displayed on the screen.
To book Direct Payment airlines the agent can use the # and submit the Low cost Selling booking
screen. At this time there are no carrier-specific validations, so although the screen does not
require a piece of information, the airline might refuse the booking until the information is
provided. See Booking Information section for Carrier rules
The agent should not use TAS entries once a SS response has been received.
Likewise, if the agent has started the booking process via availability or TAS, the agent should use
TAS commands with an ! or ; appended to complete the booking
FQ on Direct Payment flights (ZK status) sold via Travelport Smartpoint shop or branding screens
will not work correctly and should be avoided. FQ should not be needed since Travelport Smart-
point will store the fare automatically when a shopping option is booked.
CVV is required by most Direct Payment carriers, but it cannot be stored in the host. Please use
the Low cost Selling form to submit Credit card data if CVV is required.
Cannot synch ancillaries for Direct Payment airlines -
When doing ancillary shop for Direct Payment post-booking, Travelport Smartpoint will be unable
to retrieve purchased ancillary services. Enhancement to the SOA book service is pending.
The agent can only sell one instance of a given service per passenger. In other words, when the
agent selects a service to book by setting the number to 1, he or she cannot set a number to 2.
The agent cannot request 2 meals, for example, for the same travelerl on the same flight.
254
DAS* will not return an interactive screen; it will return the terminal emulation screen and the
agent must use terminal/cryptic commands to sell services that way.
Ancillary services rules are not available to Travelport Smartpoint to interpret at this time, so the
agent might encounter more booking or modification errors than anticipated.
For example, the airline might specify that an ancillary must be sold for all passengers for all
flights, but Travelport Smartpoint will enforce that rule. In general, ancillary services for U2 must
be booked for all segments.
Do not do QEB/QEP to end transact PNRs with API connected content.
Use ER, then QEP once the booking process is completed and the PNR is updated with the airline
confirmation.
If the agent uses TAS in terminal emulation to add a flight to a PNR/BF then request a seat map,
Travelport Smartpoint might not be able to display the seat map for an ACH flight.
Best practice: When the agent wants to display a seat map for an Direct Payment airline, use
Travelport Smartpoint for the entire process.
Travelport Smartpoint will support only one Direct Payment airline per PNR.
That PNR can also containGDS-based airlines, however.
Warnings received during shop and price will not be displayed.
Warnings not displayed can include U2 carrier may not support private fares modifiers or Direct
Payment carriers do not support AirLegModifiers. All errors received will be displayed.
After the agent selects to Submit something to book, there may be several things happening
behind the scenes and although it appears that nothing is going on, Travelport Smartpoint is actu-
ally working. User needs to be patient and DO NOT click or hit enter multiple times. Doing so will
lock Travelport Smartpoint
In a future release Travelport Smartpoint will display interstitial messages to let the user know
that we are working,.
Be aware that Travelport Smartpoint will display errors in an unusual format at times, including
some of the programming language (XML).
A future release of Smartpoint will have better error handling.
At time of Book, Travelport Smartpoint will be displaying the errors and warnings we receive.
Other transactions will only display errors.
Direct Payment airlines sometimes do not support some of the modifiers supported by the GDS air-
lines.
Some common modifiers can include: PrivateFares and booking cabin, nonstop flights only, etc.
Direct Payment airlines will not have a stored fare reflected in the ATFQ or Filed Fare.
Please see the RMU (1V) or DI.FT- (1G) remarks for the cost information.
The Lowcost Selling screen has places for 4 traveler names.
255
If the PNR contains more than 4 travelers, traveler information will need to be completed via
cryptic commands or in the Customer Information screen (available in the Terminal window PNR
menu).
To add Gender and Date of Birth for the additional travelers, create an SSR DOCS with this inform-
ation.
When booking Direct Payment airlines, do not IR if any errors are occurring. Doing so will remove
all the data Travelport Smartpoint has pending to book with the airline.
On Lowcost Selling screen, if the agent adds a Phone number, it will be added by Travelport Smart-
point as Home on Galileo, Residence on Apollo.
Associated city will be pulled from TCTY of AAT. Agent must always add a new phone number on
this screen with numeric data only.
When doing a modification of an Direct Payment connect airline, commit any flight changes
before making seat/ancillary changes in a separate transaction.
On the Lowcost Selling screen, Travelport Smartpoint currently requires 5 characters or more
(D3088), instead of the desired minimum of 4.
Ryanair should be shopped round trip. If multiple shops are done and the origin airport for each
shop request has a different currency, Travelport Smartpoint will not be able to make the booking
with Ryanair.
Best Practice; Shop the entire trip in one shop request, especially for Direct Payment airlines.
Only 1 instance of a service can be booked per traveler per segment at this time.
On a seat map, when displaying a seat which has already been booked, that seat could display in a
different currency than the other seats in the seat map.
Direct Payment airlines sometimes do not support some of the modifiers supported by the GDS
airlines. Some common modifiers can include: PrivateFares and booking cabin, nonstop flights
only, etc.
Direct Payment airlines will not have a stored fare reflected in the ATFQ or Filed Fare. Please see

ing it free to all agencies using our Galileo or Apollo systems through Travelport Marketplace. Ordering

decisions on behalf of the agency. Your Travelport sales and account management team can get your

261
Requirements
Travelport Smartpoint version 3.0 or later must be loaded prior to using the Quick Menu plug-in:
262
Accessing Quick Menu

Once the Quick Menu is installed, you may need to restart Smartpoint in order to have the Quick Menu
toolbar loaded within Smartpoint. The Quick Menu toolbar will automatically appear whenever Smart-
point is launched.
You can close the Quick Menu by clicking the arrow in the lower-right corner and then selecting Close
If you have closed the Quick Menu, you can reopen it again later by typing the command #MENU in the
Smartpoint Terminal Window. The Quick Menu will also automatically appear the next time Smartpoint
is launched.
263
Using Quick Menu

The Quick Menu will automatically appear once Smartpoint is launched. To change the default position
of the toolbar, click and drag the grip control which can be found on the left side of the toolbar: The
toolbar can be moved anywhere within the Terminal Window or PNR Viewer Window, and the position
will be remembered the next time Smartpoint is launched. No additional steps are needed for the pos-
ition to be remembered.
Once the toolbar is moved, it will no longer be docked to the Smartpoint Terminal Window and will stay
where it was moved even when the terminal window is moved. To reset and re-dock the toolbar to the
terminal window in the default location, click the arrow in the lower-right corner and then select Reset
Position.
The toolbar can also be reset and re-docked to the terminal window in the default location by typing the
command #MENU RESET in the terminal window. This is useful when the menu has been moved off the
screen where it can no longer be accessed.
To add, modify, or remove buttons click the arrow in the lower-right corner and then select Add or
Remove Buttons
The Menu Management screen will appear. Use the appropriate buttons to Add, Remove or Reorder the
actions/functions.
264
To restore the Quick Menu toolbar to the factory defaults, click on the Restore to defaults button.
265

the fields the next time the Hotel Action is clicked on from the Quick Menu toolbar.
Show Screen
Also note that the Rate Access Codes will pre-populate from the agency MAR record if a hotel line is
present that says HOTEL PREF followed by up to 3 Rate Access Codes. This can be added to the MAR
by a user with proper permissions making the following commands:
269
Display the MAR on Apollo by entering the command >S* (on Galileo the command is >C*).
Add the hotel pref line. For example, to add 3 Rate Access Codes for SONY, IBM, and ACME enter
the command >RC:50NH/HOTEL PREF/SONY/IBM/ACME
To remove the line added in step 2 for line 50, enter the command >RC:50
Also note that Rate Access Codes will prepopulate from the Travelscreen hotel preferences of the cur-
rently retrieved PRO-file (to view these preferences on Apollo, type >SP*HB for the business preferences
or >SP*HP for the personal preferences, and on Galileo use the commands >CP*HB or CP*HP).
Rate Access Codes will prepopulate first from the MAR. If there arent at least 3 codes present in the
MAR then current PRO-file Travelscreen preferences will be used for the remaining codes. If there still
arent at least 3 codes in the MAR or Travelscreen then previously entered Rate Access Codes will be used
(as mentioned above).
Finish
Clicking on this Action will launch the Galileo Desktop Save PNR screen.
Show Screen

If a button is added to the toolbar of Type SpecialServicesDOCS, clicking on this Action will launch the
Smartpoint Primary Document Information screen.

Click the arrow in the lower-right corner of the toolbar and select Add or Remove buttons.
Click the Add button on the Menu Management screen, for Name enter DOCS, for Type select
Smartpoint, and for Action select SpecialServicesDOCS
Press the Save button.
Show Screen
271
Custom Commands
Any command that can be entered in the Terminal Window can be assigned to a button. For example, to
create a button that sends the command >#SEAT, do the following:
Click the arrow in the lower-right corner of the toolbar and select Add or Remove buttons.
Click the Add button on the Menu Management screen, for Name enter Seat, for Type select Com-
mand, and for Action enter the command #SEAT
Press the Save button
Show Screen
Now, when you press the newly added Seat button on the toolbar, the command #SEAT will be sent to the
Terminal window which will launch the Smartpoint Seat screen.

273
Troubleshooting
If the toolbar is not working the way you expect, the first thing to check is the configuration screen. To
open the Menu Management screen:
Press the arrow on the toolbar in the lower-right corner
Then choose Add or Remove Buttons
On the Menu Management screen, make sure each button shows the desired assignment. To view
each assignment, click each item in the list and confirm that the properties on the right are cor-
rect.
To reset the toolbar/menu to the default buttons, press the Restore to defaults button and then
press the Save button.
If you are still having trouble with toolbar, you can delete the configuration file located at
C:\Users\nnnnn\AppData\Roaming\Travelport\Common\Apollo\QuickMenu.xml (where nnnnn is
your username in Windows).
If you cant see the Quick Menu toolbar with Smartpoint running, try following:
274
From the Smartpoint terminal window, type the command #MENU

If you still cant see the toolbar, try typing the command #MENU RESET. By doing this, the tool-
bar should place itself over the bottom of the terminal window.
If you still cant see the toolbar, check that the DLL is present in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Travelport\Smartpoint\Extensions
(if you are running 32-bit Windows the folder name is C:\Program Files\Travelport\Smartpoint).
The DLL to look for is: Travelport.Smartpoint.Extensions.QuickMenu.dll.
If the DLL is present but the toolbar doesnt display at startup, confirm that the version of the DLL
is 1.0.1.2 or later. You can confirm the version by right-clicking on the DLL mentioned above,
and selecting the option that says Properties. Then, on the Properties window click on the
Details tab.
If the correct version of the DLL is present but the toolbar doesnt display at startup, try resetting
the Smartpoint plugin cache by typing the command #DELETEPLUGINCACHE and then restart
Smartpoint.
