Air Tickets
Air ticket sales are handled through the use of Galileo, a well know international GDS system. The internet user chooses the airport of origin and destination, number of adults, children and infants, the departure date and return date, if a return flight is desired. SaBIS will then query the Galileo System and return a choice of the eight cheapest flight combinations that have availability. The client will then have to select the flights he desires and the system connects to Galileo, books them, and returns the unique reservation number (PNR) to the client.
