COURSE DESCRIPTION

OBJECTIVES

This course is designed for students who have not used a Computer Reservation System (CRS) or have basicknowledge about the travel industry. The objective of the course is to provide a high standard of knowledge andexperience in order for the participants to receive the basic notions of a Global Distribution System (GDS). Thecourse covers the essential knowledge used primarily by students of travel systems, employees of travel agencies,and retail travel counsellors, while using a Global Distribution System.Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:- Operate in a standard Global Distribution System (GDS) platform environment.- Encode and Decode cities, airports, countries, states, airlines and equipments.- Use convertion functions. - Display general information in the GDS Information System.- Display airline availability, schedules and timetables.- Book, waitlist and cancel airline reservations.- Construct a Passenger Name Record.- Retrieve and modify Passenger Name Record information.- Issue an itinerary.

CONTENT

1. Theory contentsModule I: Computer Reservation Systems and Global Distribution Systems.- History and evolution.- Appearance.- Implementation.Module II: Encoding and Decoding.- Types of codes.- Locations and sub-locations.- Countries and states.- Equipments.- Hotel chains.- Car rental companies.Module III: Airline systems: reservations management.- Neutrality principle.- Availability displays.- Modifying availability.- Direct access.- Flight information.- Access levels.- Marketing agreements between airlines.Module IV: Passenger Name Record (PNR).- Compulsory and optional elements.- Name element.- Itinerary element.- Air segments. Information segments.- Contact element.- Ticketing element.- Received-from element.- End of transaction.- Cancelling elements.

General clarifications on instruments for evaluation:The evaluation will be the same for all calls corresponding to the same academic year (including the call at thebeginning of the academic year).The evaluation consists of three different instruments:- Simulation: the student must complete different lessons in a Global Distribution System Simulator software.Each completed lesson has a value of 0.15, with all lessons completed having a value of 2 points (20% of globalmark). At least seven lessons must be completed in order to add the mark to that obtained in the other twoinstruments. The simulator downloaded and installed by the student, including the different lessons completed,must be submitted at Moodle the last month of the course.- Short answers test (exam): the student must answer case study questions corresponding to different scenariosin a Global Distribution System (encoding/decoding, reservations management, air system, passenger namerecord). At least half of the questions must be answered appropiately.- Problems solving: consists of four different types of problems including flights information, orders sequence,PNR creation and time zones. At least half of the problems must be solved appropiately.

Clarifications on the methodology for part-time students and students with disabilities andspecial educational needs:The evaluation consists of the same instruments: Simulation, Short answers test and Problems solving.

The methodological strategies and the evaluation system contemplated in this Course Description will be adapted according tothe needs presented by students with disabilities and special educational needs in the cases that are required.

CONTINGENCY PLAN: CASE SCENARIO A

Case scenario A will correspond to a diminished on-site academic activity due to social distancingmeasures affecting the permitted capacity of classrooms.



uco.es/grados



COURSE DESCRIPTION

General clarifications on the methodology on case scenario AA multimodal (hybrid) teaching system will be adopted, combining both on-site and remote classes viavideoconference (synchronous) that will be held in the timetable approved by the corresponding Faculty or School.The time distribution of teaching activities (both on-site and remote) will be decided by the aforementionedFaculties and Schools bearing in mind the permitted capacity of classrooms and social distancing measures asestablished at that time.

CONTINGENCY PLAN: CASE SCENARIO B

Case scenario B will bring about a suspension of all on-site academic activities as a consequence ofheath measures.

General clarifications on the methodology on case scenario BOn-site teaching activities will be held via videoconference (synchronous) in the timetable approved by thecorresponding Faculty or School. Alternative activities will be proposed for reduced groups in order to guaranteethe acquisition of course competences.
