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

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Attendance will be assessed?:
N o
General clarifications on instruments for evaluation:The evaluation will be the same for all calls corresponding to the same academic year.The evaluation consists of three different instruments (5pt required):- Simulation [2 pt]: the student must complete different lessons in a Global Distribution System Simulatorsoftware. Each completed lesson has a value of 0.15, with all lessons completed having a value of 2 points (20% ofglobal mark). 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) [6 pt]: the student must answer case study questions corresponding to differentscenarios in a Global Distribution System (encoding/decoding, reservations management, aerial system, passengername record). If the exam cannot be done in person, a task in Moodle without supervision will be used.- Problem solving [2 pt]: consists of one problem including flights information, orders sequence and PNRcreation. The problem will be proposed by a Moodle task and related to a significant country in the world (relatedto aerial traffic) selected by the student.
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 Problem solving.
Qualifying criteria for obtaining honors:
More than 9.5
Clarifications on the evaluation of the first extraordinary call and extra-ordinary call forcompletion studies:The evaluation will be the same for all calls corresponding to the same academic year.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
COORDINATION CRITERIA
Common evaluation criteriaCommon learning outcomesJoint activities: lectures, seminars, visits ...
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.
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.
