You Asked: I have a client taking a red-eye flight, and they won’t need their hotel until the next day. How do I match the hotel dates to their in-destination arrival date rather than their flight departure date?
Maxwell Says: For this scenario, you’ll need to start creating your reservation on the Advanced Search page. You can find that link in the upper right navigation or at the bottom of the booking widget on the home page. To start your search, you’ll need to enter the departure date of the trip and the total number of nights, including the night your client won’t be staying in the hotel. From here, you want to expand the Hotel panel and enter the check-in date, which will be the date that your client will begin staying at the hotel. Once you begin the search, you’ll see that the hotel availability is pulling specifically for the dates your clients need the hotel. This option also works great if you have clients who are staying with friends or family for a portion of their trip.
