QUEZON-

is a province of the Philippines located in the CALABARZON region in Luzon. The province was named after Manuel L. Quezon, the second President of the Philippines, and its capital is Lucena City. Quezon City is not located in and should not be confused with Quezon province: Quezon City is located in Metro Manila, a region to the west of CALABARZON, while Quezon province is in eastern CALABARZON.

Quezon is located southeast of Metro Manila and it is surrounded by the provinces of Aurora to the north, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Batangas to the west and the Camarines provinces to the east. Quezon lies on an isthmus separating the Bicol Peninsula from the main part of Luzon. The province also covers the Polillo Islands in the Philippine Sea.

A major tourism draw of the province is the famed Mt. Banahaw. The mountain is surrounded by spiritual mysticism. Many cults and religious organizations stay in the mountains and numerous Christians visit the mountain during Holy Week.

Quezon is the country's leading producer of coconut products such as coconut oil and copra. A large part of the province is covered in coconut plantations. Other major crops are rice, corn, banana, and coffee. Fishing is also a large part of the province's economy.

 

RIZAL-Windows of the East

Rizal is a province located in the CALABARZON  in Luzon, just 20 kilometres east of Manila. The province was named after the country's national hero, José Rizal. Rizal Governor Casimiro A. Ynares III on June 17, 2008 announced the transfer of the Capitol from Pasig. Its P 270-million capitol building, being constructed in Antipolo City by Ortigas & Co., owner thereof, will be completed by December. Built on 5-hectare lot at the Ynares Center, it will employ 2,008 employees. ^[2]The New Capitol was successfully inaugurated on March 4, 2009, bringing back the Capitol Building inside the provincial territory that was gone for 33 years.

Rizal is bordered by Metro Manila to the west, the province of Bulacan to the north, Quezon to the east and Laguna province to the south. The province also lies on the northern shores of Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the country.

Rizal is a mountainous province perched on the western slopes of the southern portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Antipolo City boasts of a wonderful view of Metro Manila and it is where Hinulugang Taktak, a waterfall popular with tourists, can be found.

The primary source of economy in Rizal province is the huge piggery estates owned by Manila-based families.

In a study recently conducted by the National Statistics Coordination Board (NSCB), Rizal province came out to be the Philippines' least poor province with a poverty incidence rate of 3.4%, even lower than that of the National Capital Region or Metro Manila.

Flight Reservation

 

• A reservation is an advanced request for a space or service sometimes in the future.
  

 

• The Reservation Officer is responsible for the processing of reservation.
  

 

Two ways of reservation

 

• Manual Reservation
  

 

• Automated Reservation
  

 

Manual Reservation - processing requires phone-in contact with the supplier airline for the initial request, regular follow-up for confirmation and finalization of the reservation by way of manual issuance of the corresponding air ticket.

 

In a "new booking", before an agent makes a call to the airline, he needs to complete first or makes a draft of the flight details/itinerary of the client using the OAG (Official Airline Guide) and/ or ABC World Airways guides. These two (2) main guides is a publication of airline timetable.

 

The ABC Guide

 

• the ABC Guide is published monthly.
  
• the travel agency must have the most up-to-date version to avoid giving passenger incorrect information.
  
• this publication comes in two (2 volumes, one is the flight schedules of airlines to destinations/cities from A to M and the second is for the destinations N to Z, including some added feature.
  

 

Flight schedules in the ABC should always be looked at as follows:

 

1. City to city timetables are shown in a "from – to" format. The departure city appears in BOLD type preceded by the word "FROM". The departure city names are in alphabetical order. In departure cities having more than one airport, reference should be made to the airport information under the heading APT. This section will also detail facts about the airport location (e.g. distance for city center, whether north, south, east or west and applicable check – in time). Additional information may also be included such as ground transportation availability and timetables.
   

 

1. After locating the departure city, the destination city listed below the departure city will appear in alphabetical order. The destination city name is followed by the 3 letter IATA code and the code name for each airport where the destination city is served by more than one airport.
   

 

1. Once the above information has been found, it is necessary to ascertain the flight schedules connecting the departure city to the destination city. The ABC Guide shows all passengers flight plus a number of transfer connections between cities of     departure and arrival. Through or direct flights are shown in chronological (time) order using the 24 hour clock system. Departure time appears on the left and arrival time on the right.
   

 

Flight information appears in the following order:

 

1. Validity - the dates appearing are the dates the flights operate. If no date the operation is for the duration of the current edition of the ABC guide.

 

2. Service Days - figures shown correspond to days of week

    1 = Monday 2 = Tuesday etc.

 

3.Dep (departure) - this column shows local time of departure. The time     is followed by the IATA     code for the airport if     more than one exists in the departure city.

 

4. Arr (arrival) - this column shows local time of departure. The time is followed by the IATA code for the airport if     more than one     exists in the departure city.

 

5. Flight No. - this gives the airline two digit code and flight number.

 

6. Acft (aircraft) - this gives the type of aircraft operating on     the route.

 

7. Class - this gives the classes of service offered.

 

8. Stops - this indicates the number     of stops made in the duration of the flight. The letter M indicates flights having more than 8 stops.

 

• The ABC guide contains a number of transfer connections, i.e. timetables involving one or more changes of flight between departure city and final destination.
  

 

• The flight information is presented in the same format as that used for direct flights.
  

 

The OAG Guide

 

• the OAG contains the same basic information as the ABC guide.
  

                    whinstar.blogspot.com

• the main difference is the way in which the information is presented. In the OAG the information is shown in the opposite way, i.e. on TO – FROM format.
  

 

Flight schedules in the OAG should always be looked at as follows:

Automated Reservation

 

• Using the Computerized Reservation Systems or CRS as it is commonly called, is the easy way of making a reservation to the travel suppliers of services. The CRS in the airline industry are the Abacus, Galileo and Amadeus and in the hotel industry, the commonly used CRS is the Fidelio System.
  

 

Basic Reservation Rule

 

To ensure smooth handling of reservations and to avoid inconvenience to the traveler the following rules should be followed:

 

Reservation Seats

 

1. Always adhere to the standard reservation procedures.
   
2. Never make duplicate reservations for the same passenger.
   
3. When confirmation of a reservation for a group cannot be obtained, do not secure the space by requesting the number of seats in separate individual transactions.
   
4. Before contacting an airline, always established the itinerary, flight numbers, minimum connecting times, etc…
   
5. Always establish a define contact address for the client and advise the airlines.
   
6. Agents should request all reservations for an itinerary and subsequent changes through one airline where possible. Each airline with which reservations are made should be informed of reservations made with other airlines.
   

 

Cancellation of Seats

 

1. If passengers cancel reservations always inform the airlines so that the space can be released.
   

 

1. If passengers change itineraries ensure that all services, no longer necessary are
   

    cancelled.

 

Ticketing

 

• Never issue tickets showing "space confirmed" unless instructed to by the airline.
  

 

• Never issue a passenger with multiple reservations when they can only use one of the reserved flights.
  

 

• Adhere to all ticketing time limits.
  

 

• Report all deposits collected.
  

 

Note:

• A reservation is not valid until passengers have bought a ticket showing the confirmed space. A date of partial or full payment to the travel agency should be set.
  
• It is the agent's responsibility to advise the passengers of the minimum connecting time between one flight and another. This will be established by referring to the published airline guides.
  
• Many carriers with computerized reservation systems give a locator code/record locator to each individual reservation. This should be quoted in all contact with the airline to avoid delays and inaccuracies.
  
• Passengers who break their journeys must be advised of the reconfirmation
  
• Requirements of the particular airline on which the passenger is travelling. At each stopover point, the airline must be informed of the passenger's intention to use the space reserved for the next segment of the journey. Time limits for reconfirmation are published in the airline timetables. Failure to reconfirm can result in the reservation for the remainder of the segments being cancelled. Reconfirmation can be done by the agent or the passenger.
