The price list in a static package displays the different price components included in the hotel contract grouped according to season. If the package includes two destinations, all possible hotel combinations (from the first and second destinations) are displayed. There is a separate price list for each hotel that is included in the static package.
The price list for each hotel is created automatically based on the definitions you enter in the Details and Services tabs, and can be viewed in the Prices tab. Each time you make changes to these definitions the price list needs to be rebuilt.
|
Each price list includes:
Season Range: Start and end dates of the season. More than one date range may be displayed for the season if prices are relevant for multiple seasons.
Price Components: The price components included in the main accommodation contract. Only price components defined in the specific main accommodation contract are displayed.
Cost price: The total cost price of all included price components.
Selling price: The total selling price of all included price components.
Additional nights selling price: The selling price of the price component for additional nights in the static package. This is only relevant if you are allowing additional nights in the static package.
The name of the price list is automatically created from the combined names of all the hotels and their price levels in each destination.
If the name is up to 200 characters long: The full name of each hotel and price level is displayed.
If the name is longer than 200 characters: The number of characters is divided equally among the destination. For example, if there is a static package with 5 destinations, each destination will have 40 characters: The first 29 characters comprise the hotel name, comma, space and the 9 characters for the price level name. The full name of the price list is displayed with a tool tip.
The seasons in the price list are based on:
The departure date of the static package
The flight contract valid on the departure date of the static package
The main accommodation (hotel or package) contract valid on the departure date of the static package
For all other services included in the static package (other than flight and hotel), the season date ranges in the respective contracts are not relevant. The price in the first season of the relevant contract is always going to be the price used for pricing the service in the static package.
The hotel cost price can also be determined using the Accumulative Price option in the hotel contract. This option, used in conjunction with the Min/Max nights option, is used to calculate prices for both the main accommodation stay and for additional nights.
To determine the cost price, the duration of the main accommodation and the number of additional nights are checked against the following in the relevant price component in the hotel contract:
Whether the Accumulative Price option is selected or not.
The number of nights defined for Min Nights and Max Nights.
By default, In Reservation System: when travel file crosses seasons, calculate selling price according to the check-in season is not selected.
When this option is selected and the package reservation crosses seasons, the package price will be calculated according to the season of the check-in date.
When this option is not selected and the package reservation crosses seasons, the package price will be calculated according to the price of each night according to the relevant season (see examples below).
The price of any additional night will always be determined according to the season in which the additional night falls (see examples below).
A separate price component is created for each age category of the main accommodation contract and flight contract combined.
For the price component to be created in the static package price list, the specific price component (for example, Person in Double) used in the hotel contract must be associated with the package price component. This must be done before creating the static package using Setup - Product Definitions - Price Components.
If a car is included in the static package:
100% of the car price will be added to the passenger with the single price component
50% of the car price will be added to the passenger with the double price component
The above car pricing is based upon the following conditions:
The car contract must include age definitions for the price components.
A correlation must exist between the passenger's age in the car price component and the passenger's age in the room price component.
 |
This means that if in the hotel contract an adult is defined as the ages of 18-120, in the car contract an adult also needs to be at least partially within this range, i.e. 17-50 is acceptable. An unacceptable age range would be, If, for example, the hotel contract were to define adults as 12-18, and the car contract were to define adults as 21-30. These age ranges do not intersect. |
In the car contract, the price of the car must be identical for any number of days (as opposed to a car contract in which the price can vary according to the number of days for which the car is rented).
If a GV2 class is included in the static package:
The static package price list includes a price component for an individual single passenger and for a single passenger travel file the package with additional single passengers (using the GV2 class). In effect, the GV2 fare is used for pricing all price components other than those price components which are used for actual individual passengers.
The following price components for single passengers are created in the price list:
Person in Single for a single (only one) passenger travel file the static package. This is the customary single passenger.
Person in Single (GV2) for more than one single passenger booking the static package. This price component is based on the GV2 class.
The cost price in the price list comprises combined supplier prices of all the services that are included in the static package. This is the amount that you are paying to the suppliers. Airport taxes are usually included as a separate price component if a flight is part of the static package.
The selling price of a static package can be broken down into the following components:
Cost price: See previous section.
Markup: The markup is added on top of the total net cost of each price component in the static package. This is the profit the static package generates.
Agent commission: The agent commission percentage is the commission paid to agents working with your company. This amount is calculated top down from the total cost of the static package so that you can deduct the commission while still maintaining the markup you entered after the commission is paid.
The selling price of a static package can be rounded either to the nearest whole number or according to increments that you define.
