Booking travel for multiple travelers is easy with Goodwings' multi-passenger booking feature. This tool allows admins and travel arrangers to add up to six employees to a trip in a single, streamlined process.
With the multi-passenger booking feature, you can:
- Add multiple people to the same trip easily
Save time and avoid availability issues by adding multiple passengers to a single itinerary, when booking through our desktop or mobile platform. - Bring your team together
Now it’s easy to bring employees together by adding travelers from different legal entities, departments and cost centers to your trip. - Give travelers all the benefits of individually booked trips
Each traveler gets their own trip itinerary, giving them the opportunity to modify their trip, get loyalty benefits and 24/7 support if needed. -
Stay in control of all trip bookings
Bookers get a comprehensive overview of all trips and can easily modify details for any traveler, like changing flight dates, times or changing seats without needing agent assistance.
How to use the multi-passenger booking feature
Our multi-passenger booking feature enables specific users, such as administrators and arrangers, have the capability to book flights for multiple travelers at once. This is a more efficient process than booking flights individually for each traveler in a group. With this feature, you can make bookings for up to 6 travelers simultaneously - and avoid the stress of managing individually booked trips and availability issues.
Note: The travelers in the group you are booking for must all be employees or all guests. You can’t book for a combination of employees and guests in a single booking.
Most of the process for booking a flight for multiple travelers is very similar to making an individual traveler air booking.
