Can a company require manager approval before an employee completes a travel booking?

Yes, glideFares can support a travel approval process for corporate bookings. An employee can submit a travel request for review, and the person responsible for approving travel can check the trip before it is completed. This can help a company control business travel and make sure bookings follow its internal policy.

The exact approval steps depend on the portal setup and the plan being used. Some companies may want approval for every trip, while others may only need it for certain travellers, destinations or types of travel. The available options should be confirmed before the corporate portal is set up, because not every process can be matched in exactly the same way.

Approval does not normally reserve a flight seat or hotel room unless the supplier allows a booking to be held. Fares, room availability and booking conditions may change while the request is waiting. The approver should therefore review requests promptly, and the employee should see the latest details again before the booking is confirmed.

Tell glideFares how your company currently approves travel, who needs to approve each request and what should happen after approval, then check which parts can be included in your plan.
