After selecting your flight, hotel, and/or car rental, the "Review your trip" page appears with each element of the trip (flight, hotel, and car rental) in chronological order. For multiple-city trips, the elements are separated into travel segments for each city. You can review each portion of your trip, choose seats for your flights, view the fare rules for each flight, view other rules and restrictions, and view a trip cost summary.

Tip: Click the Fare Rules link under each flight to see the fare rules for the flight.

Choosing Seats for the Flight

To choose your flight seats, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Choose seats link under the flight information. The Seat Selection page appears with tabs at the top for each flight of a round trip or multi-city trip.
  2. Click an available seat (marked in blue). If you are a frequent flyer with this airline, you may be able to pick a seat marked in blue with "P" (for "preferred"). 
  3. After clicking a seat for one traveler, click another seat for another traveler (if there are more than one). The numbers "1" and "2" appear in the seats to show traveler 1 and traveler 2 (and so on). 
    Tip: You can select which traveler you are picking a seat for by clicking Traveler 1 or Traveler 2 (and so on) under the "Select seat for" heading in the left column.
  4. Click the return (or next segment) flight tab, and repeat Steps 2-3 above.
  5. After choosing your seats, click Done to add your flight seats to your itinerary.

After assigning your seats, you can change your seats by clicking the Change seat selections link that appears under your flight information on the Review your trip page.

Adding and Reviewing Hotels and Car Rentals

If you haven't already added a hotel or car rental, you get a second chance on this page. To add a hotel or car rental, click the Add a Hotel reservation to this trip or Add a Car Rental to this trip link at the top of the "Review your trip" page. You can then search for a hotel (see Searching for a Hotel) or a car rental (see Searching for a Car Rental).

For each hotel, click the Hotel Details link under the hotel description to see more information about the hotel. For room and rate details, click the Room/Rate details link. You can also click See All Rooms at this Hotel and See all Hotels in the right column under Tools.

For each car rental, click the Mileage and rates link to see details about car rental mileage and rates. For rental details and rules, click the Car Rental details/rules link. You can also click See All Cars in the right column under Tools.

Note: If your site offers the "Include automatic pick up notification" option (available with service contracts in some countries), you can click the checkbox for the option so that the branch will pick up the vehicle at the specified collection date and time.

The Trip Cost Summary

The Trip Cost Summary appears near the bottom of the "Review your trip" page. It shows the purchases you need to pay for today, and the reservations you need to pay for at the end of your trip. Hover your pointer over the amounts in the Taxes and Fees column for more information about taxes and fees.

Starting Over, Changing, or Holding the Trip

You can click the Start over or Change this trip buttons at the bottom of the Review your trip page to either:

  • Start over, which resets the trip search fields, or
  • Change your trip, which lets you make changes to the existing reservation.

You can also click Hold this trip for some reservations. The Hold This Trip page appears, and you can fill out the personal information and click a checkbox to agree to the hold terms. For details about holding a trip, see Putting a Trip on Hold.

Click Continue to continue to the Purchase page. See Purchasing the Trip.
