Central Reservation System (CRS)


Central reservation system (CRS), also known as Hotel reservation systems are a
computerized system that stores and distributes information of a hotel, resort, or other
lodging facilities.
A central reservation system is a tool to reach the global distribution systems as well as
internet distribution systems from one single system, namely a central reservation system.
A CRS is mainly assistance for hoteliers to manage all of their online marketing and sales,
where they can upload their rates and availabilities to be seen by all sales channels that are
using a CRS. Sales channels may include conventional travel agencies as well as online
travel agencies. An hotelier using a central reservation system eases his/her tasks for
online distribution, because a CRS does everything to distribute hotel information to the
sales channels instead of the hotelier.
Examples of CRS –
1. Marsha (Mariott Hotels)
2. Taj Central Reservation System
3. Utell
4. Welcomnet
5. Holiday Inn Worldwide
6. Leading hotels of the world

Information commonly stored in a CRS are:


 Room types
 Rate plans architecture
 Room Rates and conditions (guarantee, deposit, customized cancellation rules,
minimum length of stay, maximum length of stay, closed to arrival, arrival not
allowed, departure not allowed)
 Room inventories
 Generic hotel information (address, phone number, fax number)
 Distribution content (descriptions, amenities, pictures, videos, local attractions) are
stored in the CRS or in a content management system

Instant Reservation System (IRS)

It is generally an independent division of the chain of hotels and situated in one of its
units. While the reservation department of that unit of the chain takes reservation for
that unit only, IRS takes booking for all the units of the chain, except that particular unit
where IR office is located.

Reservation

 Is an advanced request for available space and services at sometimes in the


future

Confirmation

 Is written advice by a supplies that a reservation has been accepted and will be
honored.

3 Methods of Flight Reservation:

1. Manual Reservations- direct contact with the supplier’s staff by mobile or


regular phone.

 Tradition way of placing reservation before the advent of e-commerce and the
internet.

 Flight no.- This gives the airline two digit code and fight.

 Aircraft- this gives the type of aircraft operating on route.

 Class- This gives the classes of service offered.

 Stops- this indicates the number of stops made enrooted.

The OAG (Official Aviation Guide of the Airways) Guide

 It contains the same basic information as the ABC (Advance Booking Charter)
guide.

 The main difference are the way in which the information is presented.

Electronic Reservation

 Through the suppliers email address or inactive websites that accepts reservation
and provides information.

 Less personal since there is no direct human contact.

 Ex. Expedia (a website and travel portals in the internet.

Automated Reservation

 Using the Computerized Reservation Systems or CRS as it commonly called.

 The CRS in the industry are the abacus, Galileo and Amadeus and in the hotel
industry the commonly used CRS is the Fidelio System.

 Availability – looking for the possible flights for a certain


destination with different or specific airlines.

 Selling- after viewing the possible FLIGHTS from the CRS, you
need to choose among the listed segments the flight fitted for the
requested flights of the client.

 Creating PNR- After Selling/or availing the flights, you need to

History and Evolution of Global Distribution System

• There have been 3 stages of evolution the first reservation system was called an
• Airline Reservation system,
• the second a Computer Reservation System (CRS) and
• The third evolution is today’s Global Distribution System (GDS).
• Global distribution systems (GDS) have evolved from the first computer-based
reservation systems implemented by several U.S. airlines in the late 1960s.
• However, there are several key milestones and technological innovations worth
highlighting.

FARE CALCULATIONS

“A fare is the amount charged by the carrier of a passenger and his allowable free
baggage, and is the current fare which a carrier in the publication normally uses
published fares, holds out to the public as being applicable to the class of service to be
furnished”.

FIVE CATEGORIES OF INTERNATIONAL AIRFARE

1. NORMAL- These fares have no restrictions. Also, the passenger can make an unlimited
number of stopovers between the origin and the outward destinations without a fare
charged to each stopover city. Normal fares are also called all-year fares since the ticket
is valid for one year from the date of issue.

2. RESTRICTED NORMAL- these fares are similar to normal fares except the passenger is
not allowed unlimited stopover at no extra charge.

3. STANDARD EXCURSION- these are the three types of restriction usually associated
with the standard excursion fares:
 Travel must be round-trip – one way journey are not allowed;
 Additional stopovers between origin and outward destination are not allowed or
severely limited – usually at a charges; and
 There is no minimum stay and a maximum stay.

4. ADVANCE-PURCHASE EXCURSION (APEX) – these fares are very restrictive.


 Reservation must be made a certain number of days prior to departure;
 Ticket must be issued a certain number of days prior to departure;
 Fee penalty for charges to the reservation after ticket has been issued;
 Fee penalty if ticket is cancelled.
5. NON-REFUNDABLE - these fares are the most restrictive of all categories they contain
the same restriction as the APEX fares, except
 No additional stopovers allowed
 No refund due passenger if ticket is cancelled.

EXPLANATION OF RESTRICTIONS

1. STOPOVERS- this restricts the number of stopovers the passenger can make at one or
more cities between the origin and onward destination.

2. VALIDITY- this restricts the amount of time the passenger is allowed to stay before
returning home.

 Minimum stay. Passenger cannot return within a certain number of days or a


specified time period.
 Maximum stay. Passenger must return within a specified number of days or a
specified time period.

3. ADVANCE PURCHASE—this qualifies that the reservation must be and the ticket
purchased a certain number of days/weeks before departure.

4. CHANGE PENALTY-this restricts the type and/ or number of changes that can be
made to the reservation before departure for a change.

5. CANCELLATION PENALTY-this impose a charge or penalty for cancellation of


ticket/reservation within the advance reservation period.

INTERNATIONAL FARE- TYPE CODES

 Each different type of fare has a unique identifying code. Since these codes are
used to identify types of fare, they are called “fare type codes”. They are
sometimes referred to as fare-basis codes.
 The code elements are combines in a specific descending order, as a follows:
1. Primary / Class of Service Code
2. Part of Year (seasonality)Codes
3. Part of a Week Code
4. Part of a Day Code
5. Fare- and Passenger-Type Code
6. Validity
7. Fare Level Identifier
 Fare type codes are used to identify fares on the computer or in printed air fare
resources book called “Air Tariff”. They are also entered in the fare basis box on
the airline ticket.

FARE-TYPE CODE ELEMENTS

 Primary/class of service (mandatory) - These primary codes identify the class of


service or booking codes. They may appear by themselves or may precede one or
more conditional codes.

International Air Transport Association (IATA)

• In order to facilitate the adjustment of fares, International Air Transport


Association (IATA) has divided the world into three (3) main AREAS: Area 1, Area
2, and Area 3. They are regularly used in the interpretation of tariff rates and in
the calculation of international airfares. Airlines sometimes refer to these areas as
TC1 (for area 1), TC2 (for area 2), and TC3 (for area 3).
• Under each area, there are smaller “sub-areas” or “sub-regions” which, in the
IATA context, may have a different meaning from what is generally implied by the
geographical term. For example, IATA Europe in Area 2 comprises not only
geographical Europe but also the following countries and islands:
1. Three North African countries i.e. Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
2. The Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands.

3. The part of Turkey situated on the Asian continent. Thus, cities like Ankara,
Algiers, Rabat, Tunis, and Las Palmas are all located in IATA Europe.

 Sub-areas may in turn be sub-divided into sub-regions or groups of countries.


For instance, Africa may be subdivided further into Eastern Africa, Western
Africa, Southern Africa, etc. Moreover, Europe has subdivisions such as
Scandinavia, European Economic Monetary Union and the ECAA (European
Common Aviation Area) member states.

Area 1

In general, TC1 is composed of the whole of the Western Hemisphere. However,


its composition may vary depending on the rule being interpreted.
The first classification according to sub-areas:
1. North America Canada (CA), Mexico (MX), St. Pierre & Miquelon (PM), United
States of America including Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands (US)
2. 2. Central America Belize (BZ), Costa Rica (CR), El Salvador (SV), Guatemala (GT),
