Apollo is one of the major Global Distribution Systems (GDS)
(or CRS) used in North America by airlines, travel agencies,
Internet booking sources and other travel companies for sales,
accounting, inventory managment and communications. Apollo
is owned by Travelport and is sometimes referred to as "Galileo,"
another GDS system with whom it shares some functionality.
This guide is designed to be used with the VIASINC Apollo
Introduction, Comprehensive and Conversion Courses or as a
reference when working in the travel industry. All of the formats
in the guide are taught in the VIASINC Apollo courses, though
formats grouped together may not be taught in the same lesson
or course. The Format Recap at the end of each online lesson
(or workbook lesson) should be your resource for determining
which entries are taught in each lesson. You will not be expected
to know formats listed in this guide that are not taught in your
course. Course outlines appear in an Appendix.
Using formats to operate Apollo is called using the "command line
interface." There are point-and-click interfaces to the command
line, but using formats to operate Apollo is the fastest and most
efficient way to look up information and process reservations. It
is Apollo's "expert" mode and a good working knowledge of the
commands is an important part of your travel education that will
help you considerably when using Apollo in the field.
The VIASINC GDS Training System provides the most
comprehensive GDS training and the most realistic GDS
emulation available from any company. Take advantage of the
many features in the system and use the emulator often. The
more work you do in the emulator, the more proficient you will be
on live Apollo.
