Each passenger on the holiday has an entry in the Pax table; the number of Pax entries sets the number of people travelling.
Each passenger is assigned to one Pax group, thus setting the number of people in the group.
Every revision can have a different set/number of Pax, if required; in most cases the Pax table is fairly constant across revisions.
-
Add a Pax: Select the number of Passengers to create and the group to which they should be assigned; then click 'Add New Pax'. Only the Pax Group is compulsory - the system will create a default passenger surname and all other values are optional.
-
Edit Pax details: Click on a cell (not all cells are editable, see Fields below). Changed values are marked with a red triangle - press Save in the Holiday toolbar to commit changes. Press Escape in the cell to revert to original value.
-
Remove Pax: Click the select box in the first table column for each Pax to remove and click 'Remove Selected Pax'. When the last Pax in a Pax Group is removed, that Pax Group and all its services are also removed - this is not reversible. It is often useful to create a New Revision before removing Pax.
