The data sources used in this study were primary data in the form of questionnaires and secondary data in the form of literature reviews. In this study the data used is quantitative data because it is expressed in numbers that indicate the value of the magnitude of the variable it represents. Data collection is in the form of a questionnaire distributed via a link https://forms. gle/ngr6WRF5kXTr8svk9 with answers in the form of numbers on a Likert scale of numbers 1 to 5 Sugiyono . with the provisions of the answers: Strongly Agree . Agree . Simply Agree . Disagree . , and Strongly Disagree . From the results of distributing the questionnaires, numerical data were obtained containing answers from 30 respondents which were then processed using SPPS version 26. DISCUSSION Validity test is carried out using correlation techniquesproduct moment to calculate each statement with a total score (Sugiyono, 2. The validity test has the following provisions: To measure whether or not a questionnaire is valid or valid, it is said to be valid, if the questions on the questionnaire are able to reveal something that the questionnaire will measure. Significance test is done by comparing the value of r count with r table for degrees of freedom . = n Ae 2, in this case n is the number of samples. The alpha value that is generally used is 0. If t count > r table then there is a positive or valid correlation . If t count < r table then there is no correlation or invalid Validity test is a test to determine whether a series of questionnaires can be used as a measuring tool for the variable you want to This definition in general and many definitions of validity test. There must be a reasonable logic between a question and the variable to be measured. In addition, the researcher must also determine whether a question is valid in measuring the variable or construct to be measured. Reliability Test is a measure which states that a measuring instrument in behavioral research has reliability as a measuring tool, which is measured through consistency of measurement results from time to time if the phenomenon being measured does not change (Sugiyono, 2. The formula used in reliability testing is the Cronbach Alpha coefficient with the following results: if the Cronbach Alpha results are > 0. 70 then it will be said to be reliable and can be processed to the next stage, whereas if the Cronbach Alpha value is > 0. 70 then the measuring instrument is not reliable. Based on the results of the reliability test above using SPSS 26 it can be concluded that the variables Price (X. Convenience of Service (X. and Health Protocol Procedures (X. on the Decision to Purchase Garuda tickets (Y) have results exceeding a minimum value of 0. 70 (Cronbach Alpha > 0. that the questions on the questionnaire were declared reliable in this study. CONCLUSION The conclusions in this study were: . the price variable with all indicators was declared valid and the question items were declared reliable, . the service convenience variable stated that all indicators were valid and the question items were declared reliable, . the procedural health protocol variable for both indicators was declared valid and question items are declared reliable, . purchasing decision variables with all indicators declared valid and question items declared reliable.
