This topic explains how to create a new flight contract.
Flights are sold as a stand-alone service in the system.
Flight contracts are negotiated between travel companies (both tour operators and travel agencies). Once the contract is negotiated you can enter the terms into the system, and sell/request flights through the Reservations System.
When building the contract, you will add a price list, which can include multiple markets, seasons and components.
Supplier account: The reserving supplier, service provider and the supplier paid are the same account.
Destination: The destination of the general contract. This is usually the destination of the tour, static package or calculation sheet. With items for travel benefits or ancillary services, you can select a generic destination, such as Worldwide or the country where your travel company is located.
Category: The general service category, which can be ancillary, group, individual, etc.
Go to Products - Contracts.
A new item page opens in the Flight tab.
a. Mandatory. In the Origin field, select the origin of the flight from the drop-down list.
b. In the Via field, select the layover destination (for a non-direct flight).
c. Mandatory: In the Destination field, select the destination.
d. Mandatory. In the Airline field, select the airline from the drop-down list.
e. In the Flight No. field, enter the flight number. You can enter multiple flight numbers, separated by commas. You can select to display or to exclude the flight numbers entered.

a. In the Voucher and Transaction Definitions section, the fields are initialized according to the definitions in the Supplier Paid's supplier account. However, you can edit these fields if necessary. Editing the fields in the contract does not affect the definitions in the supplier's account.
b. In the Display in Booking System section, to display the flight first, regardless of the sorting method in the Reservations System, select Always on top.
c. In the Time Limit section, select the time limit, else time limit (Today +) and time limit date.
d. In the Gross Prices section, select how to calculate the selling price:
Based on this price list's definitions: Both the net and selling price are taken from the price list during the query process.
Based on the Business Rules Markup Definitions: The net price is taken from the price list, and the business rules are added to it to create the selling price.
Click Save, and continue to create the price list for the flight contract.
