Overview

Global Distribution Systems and Air Ticketing Training Course is a one-week foundation programme for travel consultants, reservation staff, and airline support teams who need vendor-neutral workflow literacy. Participants practise the sequence from schedule and availability review through booking-file creation, fare display, itinerary pricing, ticketing arrangements, electronic-ticket records, and post-ticket service decisions. Exercises use simulated records and neutral command logic without promising access to a proprietary platform. Each participant leaves with a Reservation and Ticketing Quality Checklist. Agile Leaders Training Center provides this course to build accurate, controlled booking and ticketing practice.
