Purpose

This article explains how to book flights, hotels, and cars with TravelBank.

Audience

This article applies to all users with access to TravelBank travel management.

Get started

Start by confirming you have a card added to your account for payment, ensure the information is accurate, or add one now if you haven't done so already. If your company has a corporate card used for purchasing travel through TravelBank, you'll see that card on the Payment Methods tab, and also in the Payment Method pane on the checkout page.

Once you've done this now is a good time to update or complete your Traveler Information.

If you need to cancel your travel reservation, learn how to do so here.

Choose Travel in the sidebar to get started.

Book a flight

Once you've selected the airport you're flying from and to, and input the dates and the number of travelers, choose "Search Flights" (see Figure 1). If you have an unused travel credit, learn more about that here.

Flights page on the TravelBank web app, including Flying From, Flying To, and Travel Dates fields

If your company has a travel policy, you'll be advised of it (see Figure 2). A travel policy can affect both rates and days advance required to book travel without needing any additional manager approval.

Your Travel Policy pop-up window. The policy includes rules your company has set for travel, such as current flight average fare and advance booking requirements.

In the Traveler Information section (see Figure 3), choose your traveler, or add one if you are booking on behalf of another. If your booking is outside of company policy, you'll see the reason above the request approval button.

If you want to review or choose your seat, before you book your flight scroll down and review your seat selection options (see Figure 4).

Note: Seat selections are not guaranteed until booking is confirmed by your airline. Consult your airline as they may reserve the right to update your seat assignment as well.

If you have not added a payment method to your account, you'll be asked to do so prior to booking your flight (see Figure 5).

Add New Payment Method pop-up window, including sections for Credit Card Information and Billing Information
