Choosing the Itinerary Type

After choosing Trip Planner, Flight, Hotel, or Car Rental from the Travel dropdown menu, choose an itinerary type by clicking one of these tabs: Round Trip or One-way.

Note: The Multi-City tab also appears for sites that have enabled multi-city itineraries.

Round Trip

A round trip assumes that you return to the same or a nearby airport. (When you first visit the Travel page, Round Trip is selected by default.) Click the checkbox next to each service (Flight, Hotel, and Car Rental) to expand use it. The Flight section of the Travel page includes fields for the return flight. Once the flight information has been entered, the hotel and car rental search fields are populated with information matching the flight. For example, your car rental search will match pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and times to your flight arrival time at your destination, based on what you have already entered in the Flight section.

One-way

Select a one-way flight. Click the checkbox next to each service (Flight, Hotel, and Car Rental) to expand and use it. The Flight section of the Travel page assumes a one-way flight. Once the flight information has been entered, the hotel and car rental search fields are populated with information matching the flight. For example, your car rental search will match pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and times to your flight arrival time at your destination, based on what you have already entered in the Flight section.

Multi-City

If your site has enabled multi-city itineraries, you can click the Multi-City tab to create a multi-city itinerary. The Travel page shows three segments (three destinations). The Flight, Hotel, and Car Rental sections of the Travel page are included within the segments. Complete each trip segment separately. If you need additional segments, click Add Another Segment at the bottom of the Travel page.

Click the checkbox next to each service (Flight, Hotel, and Car Rental) in each segment's heading. Once the flight information has been entered for each segment, the hotel and car rental search fields for that segment are populated with information matching the flight. To learn more about a multi-city itinerary, see Making Multi-City Reservations.

Choosing Travel Services

Tip: To save time, we recommended that you search for a flight first, before searching for a hotel or car rental. Some of the fields for hotel and car rental searching are populated by the flight search information, and search results correspond to the flight.

After choosing the itinerary type, follow the instructions for searching and selecting these services:
