Résumé du poste

Holiday Tribe Private Limited is a Gurugram-based travel-tech company seeking a Ticketing Executive (FIT / Groups) to source, book, and issue air tickets for individual travellers via GDS and B2B portals. The role requires precision, strong GDS knowledge, and the ability to manage high-volume bookings within budgets.

The candidate will handle domestic and international tickets, verify passenger details, track live PNRs, and process changes, refunds, and reissues as per airline rules.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of ticketing experience in a travel agency, OTA, or tour operator environment.
• Hands-on proficiency in at least one major GDS (Amadeus strongly preferred); IATA certification a plus.
• Demonstrated experience with major B2B air consolidator platform — TripJack, TBO, My Partner, FD King or equivalent.
• Sound knowledge of IATA fare construction rules, airline fare families, reissuance penalties, and BSP reporting.
• Familiarity with both LCC portals (IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air Arabia etc.) and full-service carrier inventory management.
• Experience handling group ticketing, including name changes, group deposits, and bulk reissuances.
• Strong attention to detail — zero tolerance for name mismatches, sector errors, or missed time limits.
• Ability to work under pressure with high accuracy during peak booking seasons and last‑minute emergencies.

Responsabilités

• Search, book, and issue domestic and international air tickets via GDS (Amadeus / Galileo / Sabre) and airline portals, ensuring best available fares within approved budgets.
• Receive confirmed FIT booking briefs from the sales / ops team and execute air ticket searches across B2B portals to identify the best available fare matching the itinerary routing, travel dates, and class.
• Compare fares across multiple B2B systems simultaneously to ensure the most cost-effective option is selected without compromising on schedule suitability for the guest.
• Book and issue tickets on approved B2B portals after internal fare approval; maintain booking within the portal-specified ticket time limit to avoid auto-cancellation.
• Verify passenger details meticulously — name as per passport, DOB for infants / seniors, passport number and expiry — before issuance to eliminate name mismatch or documentation errors.
• Track all live PNRs for schedule changes, airline-initiated cancellations, or waitlist clearances; communicate proactively to the ops team and arrange alternatives if needed.
• Process voluntary changes (date change, routing change, upgrades) and involuntary changes (IRROPs) through the B2B portal or directly with the airline, applying fare rules correctly.
• Handle refund and reissuance requests through the portal; track credit shell validity and ensure timely utilisation or refund as per airline policy.
• Reconcile portal wallet / credit balances and flag low-balance alerts to the finance team in advance of high-volume booking periods.
• Maintain a daily booking log in the internal MIS tracker — covering booking reference, airline, PNR, fare paid, portal used, and ticket status — for QC and accounts reconciliation.
