NEW
Web Itinerary Update - The TRIPS design team has been working on an initiative to update and improve the look and feel of the web itinerary in line with some new design standards. The web view continues to beautifully display the travel itineraries created by you. Find out more about the improved itinerary design below.
  1. Flight segment cards have been enhanced to display the airline logo and to visually indicate whether the arrival date differs from the departure date. The improved design lets travellers easily find and understand their flight information when viewing the itinerary. The itinerary now has dedicated fields for the following:
    1. Baggage allowance
    2. Special Service Requests (SSRs)
    3. Operating airline
    4. Technical stops



  2. These new field details can be added directly to your air segments when editing a flight segment in Trip Publisher.



  3. When viewing any segment details, these will now be displayed in a larger pop-up card, allowing travellers to see more information in a larger viewing area.



  4. Your contact details are just a click away. Travellers can click the Support floating action button to access your contact details and messaging (for select brands) when viewing their itinerary.
