Master Galileo fare shopping commands to find the best prices for your clients
1. Retrieve the Existing EgyptAir PNR
Start by pulling the reservation that was already created by EgyptAir onto your Galileo screen.
- ➡️
C/MS*[booking reference]
After entering the command, the reservation will be displayed. At the top of the screen, you will see the prompt:
CONFIRM CLAIM OR IGNORE
- If you do not wish to keep the PNR → type
I(Ignore) - To confirm and take ownership → type the following sequence:
C/MS/OK R.M [your initials] ER
The PNR will now convert to your standard Galileo format and is ready for further processing.

2. Enter Passenger Names (Standard Format)
Add or verify each passenger name using the standard Galileo name entry:
N.last name/first name mr
Repeat for all group members. Ensure the names match the passport exactly – any discrepancy can cause ticketing failures or boarding issues.
3. Fare Construction (Manual Pricing)
EgyptAir provides a specific fare basis for your group reservation. For this example, we will use KREEGO as the fare basis.
3a. Enter the Fare Quote Command
FQCMS@KREEGO R.M [initials] ER
At this point, you will build the fare manually. If you need to convert currencies during fare construction – for example, checking fares in AED or USD – Galileo (and other GDS systems) offer powerful built-in tools. The FQC command in Amadeus and Galileo, or the DC command in Sabre, can handle real-time currency conversions, historical rates, and IATA ROE tables with ease.Master GDS currency conversion commands to avoid manual calculation errors and speed up your workflow.

4. Ticket Issuance
Now that the fare is built, issue the tickets using the command below:
TKP1P1-16/FS/TCAGENCY
Breakdown of the command:
TKP1– use fare line 1P1-16– passengers 1 through 16 (adjust to your group size)/FS– payment method: cash/TCAGENCY– tour code (agency identifier)
5. Split Passengers (Group Management)
If you need to separate passengers within the group – for example, different itineraries or ticket types – use the Galileo DG (Divide Group) command:
DG [passenger range]
Example: DG P3-6 will move passengers 3 to 6 into a new PNR.
