GEM – the exchange with Add Collect Taxes and EMD for Refundable Balance

Dear GEM users,

we would like to inform you about a new functionality in GEM – Ticket Exchange with Add Collect Taxes and EMD for Refundable Balance.

This a is a new functionality in the Travelport Galileo system and we have modified GEM accordingly. In an exchange situation, if additional taxes apply to the new itinerary and the e-ticket being exchanged will result in a partial refund, there is a possibility to collect additional taxes and issue an EMD-S for Refundable balance in a single transaction. See an example here.

Reminder: It is not enough to issue an EMD for refundable balance. Such an EMD must be refunded afterwards. If the Void exchange transaction is supported by the carrier, a new ticket along with the EMD for refundable balance can be voided, but before EMD is refunded. Once the EMD is refunded, Void exchange transaction is refused.
