Manage Travel Bookings
The Travel Bookings section of a trip stores your transportation arrangements — flights, rail, ferry, rental cars, and parking. Each booking record holds the provider, confirmation reference, departure and arrival details, and schedule. Bookings appear in the Trip Timeline.
Travel Bookings are a record of your arrangements. MyBusinessTrip does not connect to airline, rail, or rental car systems — there is no live booking status or real-time updates.
