Travel itinerary

Overview

The Travel Itinerary feature allows you to create comprehensive travel plans by organizing your journey into logical segments. Each segment represents a portion of your trip with specific transportation details, locations, and timing information.

Key Components

Segments

A travel itinerary consists of multiple segments that collectively represent your complete journey.

• Definition: A segment is a distinct portion of your travel journey
• Elements:
  • Transportation type (e.g., flight, train, bus, car, ferry)
  • Departure information (time and location)
  • Destination information (time and location)
  • Notes
  • Stopovers

Stopovers

Stopovers represent planned breaks or intermediate stops within a segment.

• Definition: A temporary stop between your departure and final destination
• Optional elements:
  • Location
  • Time of arrival/departure
  • Duration of stay

Notes

Notes provide additional context or important information for segments or stopovers.

• Use cases: Booking references, contact information, reminders
• Attachment: Notes can be attached to segments or stopovers

Managing Your Itinerary

Adding Elements

• Segments: Add as many segments as needed to complete your journey. Whenever a new segment is added, its departure point is set to the previous segment’s destination.
• Stopovers: Add multiple stopovers to any segment when your journey includes intermediate stops
• Notes: Attach notes to segments or stopovers for important details and reminders

Removing Elements

All elements in your travel itinerary can be removed:

• Segments
• Stopovers
• Notes

Example Use Case

A typical journey might include:

1. A car segment from home to the airport
2. A flight segment with a stopover at a connecting airport
3. A train segment from the arrival airport to the hotel

Each segment contains the specific timing details and any relevant notes for that portion of the journey.

Best Practices

• Create segments in chronological order
• Include buffer time between segments for unexpected delays
• Add detailed notes for complex transportation arrangements
• Document important contact information in segment notes
