This tab is used to define the selling (self operation flights without the profit mechanism) or Buying (self operation flights with the Profit Mechanism) prices of the seats according to the classes existing in the self-operated flight. If you are working without the profit mechanism, the selling price of the flight is calculated in the business rules.
The price list created in this tab is relevant only for the flight defined in the Information tab - for a one way trip only.
|
To encourage round trip reservations, see Setup - Website Definitions - Content - Services - Flight (General expander) to implement an option which adds a penalty amount to the selling price when a reservation is made for only a one way flight (instead of round trip). |
The page is divided into two panes:
The Classes pane lists the different classes in which you bought seats.
In the Classes pane:
OWN indicates that the class is "owned" by your company.
TRANSFER indicates that the class is used only for internal purposes: self-operated tours or static packages.
Classes sold to a travel agent do not appear in this column as the selling prices for seats in these classes are determined by the travel agent and not by your company.
|
To copy a price list from one class to another, click on the arrow icon next to the Classes pane. It opens a drop down with the options Copy Price List and Paste Price List. |
The Price List pane contains the price list for the self operated flight.
The price list is in a table format. The left-most column is the Season column, and contains the seasons in the price list. The panes to the right are Market columns, and contain the market associated with the season.
It is recommended to first define the selling prices for all seasons of the flight before copying the flight in order to produce a series of flights. In this way, the copied flight will be automatically created with the selling prices of the season in which it falls.
