CTC Itinerary Planning & Booking Systems 2

Question 1

When a client requests a multi-destination itinerary, which GDS function allows an agent to hold multiple city pairs within a single Passenger Name Record (PNR)?

Accepted Answer

Itinerary build with multiple air segments

Answer

A PNR in any major GDS can contain multiple air segments representing different city pairs, enabling a complete multi-destination itinerary within one record.

Question 2

A client books a round-trip ticket but wants to add a hotel for only the outbound leg. In a GDS workflow, this is accomplished by:

Accepted Answer

Adding a passive hotel segment to the existing PNR

Answer

A passive hotel segment can be added to an existing air PNR to keep all travel components together for reference and service purposes.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes a 'waitlist' segment status code in a GDS booking?

Accepted Answer

UC — unable to confirm, space not available

Answer

UC (Unable to Confirm) indicates the airline cannot provide the requested space, effectively placing the booking on a waitlist or rejecting it.

Question 4

A travel consultant is building an itinerary that crosses the International Date Line. Which consideration is MOST critical when calculating arrival times?

Accepted Answer

Adjusting the arrival date forward or backward by one day

Answer

Crossing the International Date Line means the arrival date shifts by one calendar day, which must be accurately reflected in the itinerary to avoid client confusion.

Question 5

In itinerary planning, what is the purpose of a 'minimum connecting time' (MCT)?

Accepted Answer

The shortest time the airline deems sufficient to make a connection at a given airport

Answer

MCT is the airline- or airport-established minimum time required to make a legal connection, and itineraries with shorter layovers may not be bookable.
