Creating and Updating Travel Details |
This feature allows you to create travel details from the Activity or Crew Lists screen for a crew member signing on or signing off. This is the first step in making a confirmed travel booking for the selected personnel.
Note: The Travel Details link on the Travel Request screen displays the travel details that are arranged from an approved travel agent. You can make changes to the travel details for multiple personnel who are in the travel request, for example to add a hotel reservation and so on.
Note: Crew members travelling in the same travel request can have different departure (for Sign On Travel) or return (for Sign Off Travel) airports/dates/times. So when the travel request details are exported to Excel, the details of each crew member will be listed in individual tabs in the Excel sheet.
Important Note: You would use the Travel Request feature if you will be utilizing a Travel Agent for the travel booking. However, if you are managing the travel booking by yourself, i.e. without using a Travel Agent, you would need to use the Travel Details feature instead.
