Agency Private Fares

HELP PRIVATEFARES or H/PRIVATEFARES

Agency Private Fares (APF) is a web-based product providing travel agents and consolidators with the means to maintain their contracts of private, negotiated fares. Net Fare Manager (NFM) provides the ability to mark-up/down and redistribute airline-filed net fares (type C), while Selling Fare Manager (SFM) is used for airline-filed private fares (type L).

After contracts have been loaded into APF, or distributed from NFM or SFM, the fares are available to integrate with public fares and airline-filed private fares for fare display, quote, and shopping. These rates can be shared with Worldspan and/or Apollo users at the agency’s discretion only.

The following table lists the features and benefits of APF.

Client file

HELP CLIENT or H/CLIENT

Agency files, business files, and personal files were explained in the Profiles module.

Three other types of client files also exist.

Itinerary/auxiliary service client files

Itinerary/auxiliary service client files enable you to store details of frequently used air, hotel, car, and tour segments. You can also store itinerary remarks. Retention segments can be created using these.

Information client files

These files contain information commonly used by your agency. They are useful for holding such things as office procedures and policies and home contact telephone numbers. Information is never transferred into a booking file.

Membership client files

Membership client files are used by select (member) agencies. They may be customer data, itinerary/auxiliary service, or information client files and may be used purely for information purposes or the information contained in them can be transferred into a booking file.
