How to enter Adult, Child & Infant name in Galileo ?

 

Entering passenger names 

FUNCTION ID	NBR OF PSGRS	SURNAME	/	FORENAME
N.	1	ATKINS	/	JAMESMR

Shown above is an entry to create a BF name field. The purpose of this entry is to enter a single passenger name into a BF.

The entry consists of the name function identifier "N.", followed by the number "1" for "one passenger", the surname, an oblique, the forename and the passenger's title.

In application, the entry shown above would create a BF name field with the passenger name of Mr James Atkins.

FUNCTION ID	NBR OF PSGRS	SURNAME	/	FORENAME
N.	1	ATKINS	/	JAMESMR

Please examine the example and consider the following points:

• The number of passengers may be omitted if the number is 1.
• The full forename, as it appears on the passenger's passport or other identification, must be used.
• Titles are normally required.

 

FUNCTION ID	NBR OF PSGRS	SURNAME	/	FORENAME	/	FORENAME
N.	2	VALK	/	KYLEMR	/	EMILYMRS

Now shown is the entry to add the names of two passengers sharing the same surname.

The numeral "2" following the function ID tells Galileo the number of passengers you will be adding to the BF with this entry. This number will always equal the number of forenames and the number of obliques entered in the format.

In application, the entry shown above would create a BF name field with the passenger names of Mr Kyle Valk and Mrs Emily Valk.

Up to 9 passengers sharing the same surname may be specified in a single entry. Each forename is preceded with an oblique. The number of obliques must always equal the number of forenames, which must equal the number of passengers specified at the beginning of the entry.

 

"N."	NBR PSGRS	SURNAME	FORENAMES
N.	5	PATEL	/SAMUELMR/RITUMRS/MEERAMS/SLADEMISS/PETERMSTR

The entry shown above enters five passenger names into the BF name field. Please study it carefully and see that it contains the following five family members:

• Mr Samuel Patel
• Mrs Ritu Patel
• Ms Meera Patel
• Miss Slade Patel
• Master Peter Patel

Slade and Peter are children. It is recommended to use the title "Miss" for girls and "Mstr" for boys when entering names of children. Children are passengers age 2 through 11. Entering names of infant passengers (age 0-2) requires the use of a separate entry.

 

FUNCTION ID	LETTER "I"	"/"	SURNAME	"/"	NAME AND TITLE	"*"	REMARK
N.	I	/	PATEL	/	HASINMSTR	*	08OCT13

Now shown is the entry to enter an infant's name into a BF. This is the standard single-passenger name entry with three differences:

• The letter "I" for "infant" and an oblique are entered after the function ID.
• A number is not entered before the last name.
• A name remark showing the infant's birthdate is added to the end of the entry.

There are two important notes to consider:

• Each infant name field must be accompanied by an adult name field and the adult name must be entered first.
• The birthdate must be formatted in the usual GDS manner: the date followed by a three-letter month and a two-digit year.

Remember that infants are children under two years of age (between zero and 23 months). While these passengers usually do not require their own seat, their names must be included in the BF name field
