This guide helps you go from beginner to job-ready by combining reading, typing, and repetition in the AYAZGDS simulator.
Step 1: Learn the Terminal Layout
Understand the command line, response area, and how to read availability displays. Get comfortable with the keyboard.
Step 2: Practice Availability and Selling
Start with AN for search and SS for selling. Repeat until you can build a basic itinerary without checking notes.
Step 3: Build and Name a PNR
Practice adding names, contacts, and special requests. Use RT to redisplay and edit the PNR.
Step 4: Price and Ticket
Use FXR, FXX, and related commands. Learn to read fare breakdowns and ticketing lines.
Step 5: Handle Changes and Queues
Practice void, refund, reissue, and queue commands. These separate confident agents from beginners.
Use the Training Manual
AYAZGDS includes a chapter-by-chapter training manual. Each chapter has commands and expected output. Unlock the full manual based on your plan.
Stay Consistent
Thirty minutes of daily practice is more effective than one long session per week. Build muscle memory one command at a time. See the full travel agent GDS course.
