Adding Flights

The flight editor works the same wherever you add a flight: a flight booking on the trip's Bookings tab, a flight block in the itinerary builder, and group flights. You have three ways in, and you can mix them on one booking.

Find a flight by number (fastest)

At the top of the flight editor, Find a flight takes the airline code and number together, like AA 5504 or DL482, plus the flight date.

1. Type the airline code and flight number.
2. Check the date. It starts on the trip's start date (or the day you're adding to in the itinerary), so change it if the flight is on another day.
3. Click Find flight (or press Enter).
4. Tick the leg or legs on this trip. One flight number often flies more than one leg in a day (Gulfport to Charlotte, then Charlotte back again), so each leg is listed on its own.
5. Click Add flight.

The airports, times, duration, airline, terminal and aircraft fill in from live flight data, so you know the flight really exists and the details are right. A blank starter leg is replaced, not kept beside it.

Why the date matters: the same flight number can fly a different route on another day. JourneyFuse never guesses today's date. If no date is set, it asks you for one.

Schedules are published roughly seven months ahead. A flight further out than that can't be found yet, so enter it by hand or paste the confirmation, and look it up later.

Paste a confirmation

Import from confirmation reads an airline email, an itinerary or GDS text. If the text you paste has no dates in it, the departure and arrival dates stay blank for you to fill in rather than being set to today.

Enter legs by hand

Each leg card has fields for airports, dates, times, cabin, seats, terminal and gate. The search icon beside a leg's flight number looks that one leg up, using the leg's own date.

Baggage fees link

Flight bookings have a Baggage fees link field under the flight details. Paste the airline's baggage page (delta.com/baggage works, and https:// is added for you). Your client sees a Baggage fees and allowances link with the flight in the portal and on the itinerary, next to the booking's cancellation terms. It's separate from the supplier's terms and conditions.

Tips

• Add the outbound by number, then use Add return to seed the return leg on the trip's end date, and look that one up too.
• Connections show the layover time between legs, and flag tight or impossible connections.
