Fundamentals in Air Fares and
Ticketing—Activity Workbook
International Travel and Tourism Training Program
Unit Overview
As a learning aid ... this Activity Workbook is best used as a study aid while
you are working through the Fundamentals in Air Fares and Ticketing module.
Once you have completed a Unit, the various activities will offer a good chance
for you to test the depth of your knowledge and understanding of the topics.
There are also puzzles included which can focus your attention on those key
terms and components which you will need to learn and remember. By
attempting the whole topic without referring to the answers at the back of the
book, you can identify where your knowledge is weak; you can then strengthen
your knowledge by restudying the Unit concerned.
Unless otherwise specified in the instructions of the Activity, access the Fare
Lookup Tool to obtain required fare or rule data. Also, unless otherwise noted,
the country of ticket sale for activities in this workbook is the country of
commencement of travel (COC).
TPMs required to construct fares are provided in this workbook and notated
beside each journey.
As a revision aid the best way to find out if you really know and understand
something is to test yourself. That is what you can do with this Activity
Workbook in Attachment E.
Read the instruction for each Activity carefully and check out some of the items
that have been completed as an example of how to solve the exercise. Then
work through the activities and answer every question you can. You will then
be able to test yourself on each topic and learn exactly where your knowledge
is strong or, more importantly, where you need more practice. Revise your
weakest topics first to bring them up to strength and then top up on your
stronger areas.
If you use a pencil, the activities can be attempted more than once; or have a
scrap paper ready, so that you can try out solutions or jot down possibilites for
certain checks required.
Don't look at the answers at the back of the Workbook until you have
completed the activities.
