What is Travel Itinerary?

Definition & practical guide1 min read

A travel itinerary is the consolidated schedule for a trip: flights, trains, transfers, hotels, meetings and contact numbers, in the order the traveller will need them.

A good itinerary is built around the working schedule rather than the cheapest connections, so the traveller arrives able to work. It is normally paired with a traveller profile holding preferences and documents.

Build in slack around connections and check that the traveller can reach the itinerary without a signal. A schedule that only exists in a web app is no use in an airport with no data.
