Our technology
We conducted an extensive research and appraisal process before settling on Galileo as our dedicated CRS. We are convinced that Galileo provides the best reservation solution for our team of Travel Brokers.
Air
Galileo’s comprehensive products provides fast access availability from over 470 airlines - more than any other GDS. From rules-validation, guaranteed fares and integration of private fares - with Galileo’s breakthrough booking engine – immediately you have improved speed and accuracy so we can provide even better customer service.
Cars & Hotels
Hotel and car solutions let brokers quickly and efficiently transact the most complex request. The easy graphical user interfaces help ensure fast, productive searches. You receive fully validated rates and all applicable rules, availability and prices with few keystrokes.
Galileo Desktop™
The Galileo Desktop™ is your primary booking application. It provides brokers with access to all the Air, Hotel and Car travel content available through the Galileo GDS.
The Galileo Desktop™ combines FocalPoint™ - the traditional typed or cryptic” entry booking tool, and Viewpoint™ - the world's leading point-and-click booking tool (offering airline seat and world city mapping capabilities) into a single desktop application. This combination gives brokers the ability to work the way they prefer. Viewpoint™ has searching capabilities that provide more targeted requests and responses - improving efficiency and accuracy, whilst FocalPoint™ is available to those familiar with, or who prefer using traditional typed entries.
• Brokers can “toggle” between Viewpoint™ and FocalPoint™ at any time during the booking process.
• Point and click screens are personalised, reducing training requirements.
• Sales management solutions support and enhance your business processes and booking preferences.
• Hotels can be sorted by price.
• Hotel maps plot the hotel and surrounding area and include points of interest and major airport layouts.
• Low fare shopping tool offers availability searches by booking class and returns fare-validated flight availability.
• Helpful scripts can assist in streamlining less commonly used functions, such as dividing bookings.
Galileo Low Cost Air
Galileo Low Cost Air is the first “all-in-one” solution, developed for travel consultants booking web-based carriers. You no longer need to log-on to, and search, each low cost carrier’s website. Galileo Low Cost Air does the searching for you! It searches each low cost carrier website as well as the GDS and finds the lowest fares and availability for designated low cost carriers. All search results and bookings are generated from a single sign on. Your existing agency low cost carrier sign-on and password details are built into the administration side of the product and current remuneration agreements with those airlines are not affected.
Galileo Low Cost Air features total PNR integration. Low cost carrier bookings generate a passive segment within a Galileo PNR including finishing remarks and fare information, along with any live GDS segments that are booked. All this information is then able to be downloaded into your back office system as per your normal workflow. This means Travel Brokers can spend less time on bookings, reduce human error, increase productivity and spend more time servicing customers.

A specially customised version of the OctopusTravel.com / GTA Retail Booking System, it enables access to a wide range of leisure travel content all from a single website and automatically integrates bookings made into a Galileo Booking File for itinerary and accounting purposes.
