Here's What You Can Do with Calendar Builder Itineraries:

• Add Flights Directly to the Itinerary: With Calendar Builder, can pull in flights on the Itinerary level, whereas with Classic Builder you can only do this once you confirm the trip and create an associated Guest Portal.
• Automatic Trip Overview: The system automatically generates a table view summary of your trip, with easy-to-navigate tabs for viewing only flights or only accommodations.
• Organized Daily Breakdown: Each day (or group of days) in the Itinerary is presented on a separate page, making it easy to read and follow the flow of the trip.
• Customizable Layout Options: You can choose whether to display text over the left-side primary images, giving you full control over the visual layout. (Adjust this setting via the Itinerary Settings gear icon in the top right corner.)
