Group trips, packages and services
The three kinds of trip, what each is for, and how the kind changes the cards, filters and checklists.
Every trip has a kind. It does not change how seats, prices or payments work; it helps you sort your trips and gives each kind its own checklist.
| Kind | Use it for | How it is created |
|---|---|---|
| Group trip | A guided departure on fixed dates that you fill with many customers, such as a Georgia autumn tour. | Create trip or package, type Group trip. |
| Package | A ready product, often flights and hotel, that small parties buy, such as an Istanbul city break. | Create trip or package, type Package. |
| Service | A tailor-made trip for one customer. | Made by the system when a custom quotation (one not linked to a trip) becomes a booking. It is published at once and has as many seats as the party. |
Where the kind shows
- On cards: packages and services show their kind before the departure country ("Package, from Bahrain").
- In the filter: Group trips and Packages. Services show under All.
- On a published package, the status chip reads Package instead of Published.
- In Settings → Trip checklists, each template applies to every new trip, or only to group trips, packages or single services. See Build a trip checklist from templates.
Tip
Not sure which to choose? Use Group trip when you need a minimum number of travellers to run it, and Package when each sale stands on its own.
