Can company travel bookings wait for approval before they are confirmed on my white label travel portal?

Yes, your white label travel portal can support an approval step before a company travel request becomes a confirmed booking. This can help corporate customers follow their own travel policies and give the right manager a chance to review the trip before any commitment is made.

The traveller can search for suitable flights, hotels or other available travel products and submit the preferred option for review. The person responsible for approval can then check details such as the travel dates, route, traveller information and selected services. The exact approval process and the information shown will depend on the portal setup and the features included in your plan.

Approval does not always hold the original fare or availability. Airlines, hotels and other suppliers may change their prices or sell the selected option while the request is waiting. The portal may need to check the booking details again after approval, and the traveller or approver may have to accept a changed price or choose another option. Payment timing also depends on the supplier rules and the way your portal is configured.

Before enabling this option, check which customers need approval, who is allowed to approve each request, what happens when availability changes, and whether your plan supports the approval process you want.
