Hi Jorge,
Of course! It really depends on your travel provider however I have listed out the basic steps
1. Your travel provider will most likely be using a GDS to book travel (Sabre, Amadeus etc)
2. They can connect their GDS to your cvent account using the travel integration
3. Every time they book a flight for your event, they can push the flight into your cvent
4. As long as they enter the required information, the flight will link up directly to the profile of the individual that requested the flight
5. Every time something is changed, updated etc it goes back and updates the persons travel booking into their profile
We book travel for events so we are set up to do the above, however not every travel agent company acts the same way. It would have to be a conversation with your travel agent to see if it is something they can and are willing to do.
Happy to answer any other questions!

Hayley, that's very interesting. Can you give a few more details on how to do that integration of your travel booking system with Cvent. Do you need a specific system/platform. In our case, that we outsource the travel portion to a travel agency, how would this look like? Apreciate your input.

Hi Hallie, how are you also booking your flights? The quickest way to update flight information is directly connecting your travel booking system to cvent so everything is added and updated automatically. This is how we manage our conferences, biggest time saver and never outdated data. It depends on how you are booking your travel for your events but highly recommend it.

Is there a way to add air actuals to individual attendee records, on the backend in planner mode?
I don't want the Air Actuals form to display during the registration process. I have the Air Request Form enabled.
Post-registration, I'd like to add the attendee's ticket information for tracking and reporting. Since time is short, I'd like to add that data in real-time, on an individual basis, and avoid the upload process when I have only one or two records to modify.
Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
You are able to delete air actuals individually by going into the attendee record> Registration> Modify Registration> and clicking delete under the air actual that was submitted. At this time, we aren't able to delete air actuals in bulk.
Thank you!

Looking for suggestions on how to delete air actuals now that the Modify Travel option is no longer available in Flex events. I believe modifications can still be made by reimporting and overriding existing records, but still haven't figured out how to manage deletions.
