The itinerary builder is where your trip plans come to life. It's a 3-column workspace that lets you build day-by-day itineraries with drag-and-drop blocks, add gorgeous images, and save your best work as reusable templates. Once you've built a few trips, you'll have a library that makes new itineraries feel like filling in the blanks.

The builder is split into three columns that work together:
| Column | What you'll use it for |
|---|---|
| Day List (left) | Navigate between days, see your trip at a glance, and access Trip Guides |
| Day Editor (center) | Build out each day — add blocks, edit details, drag to reorder |
| Library Panel (right) | Browse your saved templates and community content to drop into any day |
Across the top is one line for the trip: its photo, name, dates and destination, then Preview trip (the whole itinerary as your client sees it, in a new tab), Fullscreen, the Live or Draft status and the ⋯ menu. When something needs a look, such as trip dates that don't match the bookings or an approved proposal you haven't added yet, an amber to review chip appears in that line. Click it to see each one with its fix, or dismiss it.
The building tools sit in a bar pinned to the bottom of the day: Add item, Library, Guides, Import, Cruises, AI Builder and Ask Fuse. It stays put while you scroll. On narrower screens the bar shows icons only; hover one to see its name.
The list on the left is built to scan:
On tablets and smaller screens, the library panel tucks away and the day list becomes a dropdown — so you still have full access, just in a more compact layout. Block edit and delete buttons are always visible on touch devices, so you don't need to hover to find them.
Each day opens with one row: the day's photo as a small thumbnail, the date, the title and the view buttons. Click the title to rename the day. Click the thumbnail for Day settings, where you change the day's photo, set its pace and travel, and put a manually ordered day back in time order.
Items list underneath with their times in a column on the left, so you can read a day top to bottom by the clock. A day with no times skips that column.
Each day is made up of blocks — think of them as the building pieces of your itinerary. Click Add item in the bar at the bottom of the day, or hover the gap between two items and click Add item on the line that appears, then choose from:
Each block type has its own set of fields tailored to what you'd actually need for that kind of booking. Fill in as much or as little detail as you want.
Click Edit on a flight, hotel, transfer, dining, info or custom (note) item and it opens right there in the day, instead of in a window over the page. The items around it fade a little but stay readable, so you can see what comes before and after while you work.
While an item is open, the bar at the bottom of the day changes to that item's actions: Save to library, Duplicate, Move to day, Delete and Done. Each one saves your typing first. Close the item and the building tools come back.
A hotel keeps the five tabs it has always had: Property, Stay & rooms, Photos & story, Who sees this and Booking & notes. The type and the day sit at the top of Property. Picking another day moves the stay and its check-in date together.
A flight opens on four tabs: Flight (the legs, flight search, paste or upload a confirmation, leg notes and how the flight shows on the itinerary), Travelers (who is on it and who sees it), For the client (traveler notes, additional details and files) and Booking & private (booked through and your internal notes).
Changing an item's Type to one that does not open in place yet, or to a flight, saves what you typed and opens the full editor for it. Cruise days, park days and the other types still open in the full editor, with Update to save, as before.
Click Select (the checklist icon at the bottom of the Day List) to pick several days, then act on all of them together. On a phone, press and hold a day in the strip of days (or tap Select at the end of it), then tap the days you want:
Each of these finishes the selection for you, so there is no need to click Done afterwards.
Cruise days that come from a sailing are fixed to the ship's real dates, so Move is turned off while one of them is selected.
To put the same item on several days (a "Know before you go" note, a daily transfer), build it once, open the item's ⋯ menu, choose Copy to another day, and tick every day it belongs on.
Not every situation calls for the same level of detail. Switch views with Cards, List and Time at the top of the day:
The day's ⋯ menu holds Save day to library, the PDF downloads, the day number, the day photo, Sort by time and Delete day. When a day has no title yet, Suggest one sits right after it and writes one for you.
Hotel and venue blocks support multiple images — upload several photos and they'll display as a swipeable carousel on the published itinerary. Your clients see left/right arrows and dot indicators to browse through them. A well-chosen hotel photo or two can make your itinerary feel polished and professional.
The right sidebar is your secret weapon for building itineraries fast. It has two tabs:
Use the scope filter to narrow by type (Full Itinerary, Day Plan, or Content Block) and the source filter to switch between Mine and Community content. Click any template to insert it into your current day.
After you've crafted a great block or a perfect day plan, save it so you never have to build it from scratch again.
Click the bookmark icon on any block. Give it a name and choose who can see it:
Click the bookmark icon in the day header to save all the blocks in that day as a reusable day plan. Same visibility options apply.
Over time, you'll build a library of your go-to hotel blocks, transfer templates, and full day plans for your most popular destinations.
The Trip Guides section in the left sidebar lets you attach helpful documents and reference material to the trip. Click Add Resource and choose a type:
Guides show up alongside the itinerary in your client's proposal and portal view — so they have everything they need in one place.
The top of your client's itinerary has a Highlights card. It shows your destination guides first, then a row of tiles your client can switch between.
You choose what goes in those tiles. Open any hotel, excursion, activity or restaurant card and turn on Add to trip Highlights. For a hotel, the switch is on the Photos & story tab. For the other cards, it's under the details. The count next to the switch, such as 2/4, shows how many of your four spots are used. Once all four are taken, turn one off before adding another.
You add a hotel once, on its check-in day. The itinerary then shows a Check-out line on the day your client leaves, with the hotel's name and check-out time. There's no second card to keep in sync.
Some lines in a day are not items you added. JourneyFuse draws them from your other cards, so they have no delete button of their own. You can still change or hide each one right where it shows:
Opening the day-by-day from a proposal. A proposal's day-by-day is saved on its trip, so the builder opens on the trip. A banner at the top says so, with a Back to proposal link. Your proposal is not changed and stays a draft.
The itinerary's overview page carries a Before you go list: dated nudges your client sees in their portal and the app, like "Put your mail on hold" or "Airline check-in opens". JourneyFuse writes a few automatically from the trip (passport, insurance, phone service) and you can add your own with Add reminder, or apply a saved set with Apply template.
Group trips use the same templates. On a group, open Itinerary and scroll to Group checklist. Click Apply template to add a saved set to every booking's Before you go, dated back from the group's start date. Once the list is written, Save as template keeps it for your next group. A template saved from a trip works on a group, and the other way around. The group needs its travel dates first, because each item's date counts back from the start.
Each reminder has an emoji next to it. Tap the emoji to pick one:
mail and the envelope comes up, passport gives the passport stamp, pack gives the suitcase.The same picker appears when you build a reminder template, so a saved set looks the way you want on every trip you apply it to.
Fuse is the planning assistant in the builder. Click Ask Fuse in the bar at the bottom of the day, or press ⌘K and choose Ask Fuse, then say what you want: "make Day 4 more relaxed" or "find a family dinner near the hotel on Day 3". Fuse reads the whole trip, finds real places from your library and Google, and points out clashes and empty days when it opens. It can add, change, move and remove cards. You see every change before it's saved, and you can undo for ten minutes. Cards synced from a booking stay locked.
AI Builder in the same bar opens Fuse on Build this trip: give it the destination, number of days, style and interests, and Fuse plans the empty days and adds any extra ones as one change set you review before applying.
See Ask Fuse for everything it can do.
Need a complete starting point from scratch? Click AI Builder in the bar at the bottom of the day. It opens Fuse on Build this trip: confirm the destination and number of days, pick a style, add interests, and click Build it.
Fuse fills your empty days first and leaves days that already have plans exactly as they are. It only adds new days after your last day if you ask for more days than the itinerary has. Everything arrives as one change set grouped by day, using real places where Fuse can find them. Nothing is saved until you apply it, and Undo reverses the whole build for ten minutes. See Ask Fuse for the details.
When you already have an itinerary in another format — a cruise line PDF, a confirmation email, or a planning page on the web — use Import in the bar at the bottom of the day to bring it in instead of typing it out. Pick what you're importing (general, cruise, flight, or hotel) and choose a source:
.pdf and .txt files, up to 10 MB. TripIt, Travefy, Keytours, CIE Tours and Avanti Destinations PDFs are auto-detected and read with a layout made for that supplier, so long quotes come in whole.The AI parses the content into days and blocks, which you can review and adjust before saving.
If you've already added bookings to the trip (flights, hotels, etc.), the itinerary builder can auto-populate blocks from those bookings. This saves you from entering the same flight details or hotel info twice.
Two kinds of booking never get a day card of their own:
Deleting a booking's card from the itinerary keeps the booking. It stays on the Bookings tab with its price, payments and invoice line, and is marked Not on itinerary. To delete the booking as well, tick Also delete the booking in the delete box.
To put it back, open the trip's Bookings tab, click the booking to open it, then choose Add to itinerary from its ... menu. The card comes back on the booking's date. The Show on itinerary switch under the booking's Customer View does the same thing, and turning it off takes the card off without deleting anything.
An itinerary keeps the dates it was built on. If a trip's dates and its itinerary disagree, the to review chip at the top of the builder tells you which side looks wrong and offers the matching fix. Nothing is re-dated until you click.
Days more than one day outside the trip are labelled Outside trip dates in the day list. A day hanging just one day off either end (a red-eye landing, a late checkout) is left unlabelled. The trip's Overview tab lists the same days with their year and an Outside trip dates label, so nothing is hidden from you.
Every itinerary has one of three statuses. Pick it in the Share dialog under Who can see it. The pill on the Share button shows the current one (Draft, Leads, or Live).
| Status | Who sees it in the portal and the app | Share link |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Nobody. Only you and your team in the builder. | Closed |
| Leads only | The group's leads, or on an ordinary trip the trip's main client. Nobody else. | Closed |
| Published | Everyone on the trip. | Open |
Leads only is made for group trips. A school band director, a club organizer or a wedding couple can watch the plan take shape while you build it, without every parent or guest seeing a half-finished schedule and sending questions about it. When it's ready, switch to Published and the whole group sees it.
Who counts as a lead:
Good to know:
Clients can ask a question on any item of a published itinerary. When they do, you get an email, and the trip's Itinerary page shows a Client comments card at the top. Open Trip in that email lands on the card with the question highlighted and the reply box ready.
When you publish an itinerary, it gets a public share link so clients can view all their trip details, confirmations, and documents from any device. Because that link also surfaces supporting documents like receipts and vouchers, you can lock it behind a password from the Share dialog.
Open the Share dialog and click Generate to create a unique, easy-to-share password like mint-harbor-93. It's short enough to read aloud or type on a phone, but random enough that a stray link isn't wide open. You can also type your own password instead. Click Save to apply it, and the public link will then prompt for the password before showing the itinerary. To remove protection, clear the field and save.
When you compose a trip email and insert the Itinerary block, the password is added automatically under the "View Itinerary" button, so your client gets the link and the password together in one message. There's no separate password to remember or send on its own.
On a corporate or group trip, sub-groups often fly from different cities and you may have one contact and no traveler names. You can send each group a link that shows only its own flights, from one itinerary.
PHX group. Use the same wording on every flight that group takes. Capitals and extra spaces don't matter.What each link shows:
Good to know:
Can I export the itinerary as a PDF? Yes. Open the ⋯ menu at the top of the itinerary (or on any day) and pick Download itinerary PDF. It matches the proposal PDF's look: a branded cover with your logo and the trip's hero photo, and each block's photo printed alongside its details.
The itinerary PDF has no prices, on purpose: it's the day-by-day you can hand to travelers after booking or share with a group. When the trip has a proposal, the same menu also offers Download proposal PDF (with pricing). That's the priced document, with the price, payment schedule, day-by-day and your terms.
Do clients see the same view I see? Clients see a polished, read-only version on their proposal or portal. It includes all the details, images, and carousels — but not the editing controls.
How do I add a pre-cruise night (or any day before Day 1)? Click Add a day before Day 1 at the top of the Day List. It adds an empty day dated the day before your current Day 1, and every existing day keeps its date, so a cruise stays on its real sailing dates. Keep the cruise booking on the dates from the confirmation. You don't need to move the cruise's start date to make room. To add a day between two existing days, hover the gap between them and click the +.
How do I move an item to a different day? On a computer, drag the item onto that day in the Day List on the left. The day lights up green and the card says which date it is moving to; let go to move it to the end of that day. The confirmation has Undo if it lands on the wrong day. You can also open the item's ⋯ menu and choose Move to another day, which lists every day with its date.
Can I reorder days? Yes. Drag a day in the left sidebar, or use Select to move several days at once. The dates stay in place and each day's plans move onto its new date, so your trip still runs from the same first day to the same last day.
Some of my days have a date and some don't. How do I fix that? Use Start date at the top of the Day List. It re-dates every day in order from the date you pick — days that had no date take the date their position calls for, and days that were already dated slide to match. Day numbers and content stay put, and the toast offers Undo. The one exception is an itinerary holding cruise days synced from a sailing: those are fixed to the ship's dates, so add nights with Add a day before Day 1 instead.

Agents ask for approval before booking a group. Owners and admins review each request with automatic checks, then approve, decline, or ask for more information. Approving creates the group for you.
