Can I make corporate travellers get manager approval before a booking is confirmed?

Yes, an approval step may be available for corporate bookings, depending on your glideFares plan and how your booking process is set up. The traveller can submit a trip request for review, and the person responsible for approval can decide whether it should go ahead.

Approval rules can be based on details such as the travel policy, destination, cabin, hotel choice or total booking value. The exact options depend on the travel products and settings available on your portal. Some bookings may need approval before payment, while others may only allow a request to be reviewed before an agent completes it.

A fare or room is not always held while approval is pending. Prices and availability can change, and some suppliers require immediate confirmation. This means an approved trip may need to be searched again before it can be booked, and the final price may be different from the original request.

Check whether your current plan includes approval workflows, then decide who should approve each type of trip and what should happen when a request is declined or the price changes.
