Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to construct international air itineraries and cost normal international airfares. It requires the ability to interpret airfare information accurately and configure air itineraries that create optimum airfare costs. This unit does not include ticketing which is found in SITTTSL009B Process travel-related documentation.In most States and Territories, any organisation that sells air tickets must meet the requirements of relevant state or territory Department or Office of Fair Trading which, in most cases, requires the tourism organisation to hold a travel agent's licence. In many cases managers must have formally achieved competence in constructing airfares through a registered training organisation that must use this unit as the basis for their training.
