What’s Cool

Seating – Seat Selection and Upgrade

Seat SelectionConcur will automatically assign a seat based on:1)Profile preference2)Your frequent flyer status with the carrier3)Carrier still has seat pre-assignment open for that flight

You can also access the seat map after booking your flight and change your existing seat assignment!

Here’s a Tip! Look at the seat map!

Page 22: Welcome to Travel Incorporated’s Concur ‘Experienced User’ Webinar

What’s Cool

Check your profile to insure your seat preference is stored.

After selecting a seat preference from the drop-down menu, click on Save anywhere in the Concur profile. This information will also sync to your Travel Incorporated profile so that your seat preference can be referenced when you make a reservation with one of our travel consultants!

Page 23: Welcome to Travel Incorporated’s Concur ‘Experienced User’ Webinar

What’s Cool

Seating – Seat Selection and Upgrade

UpgradeWith a few exceptions (American Airlines and Virgin Atlantic), carriers will perform an automatic upgrade check based on the traveler’s membership program level. That level determines how far in advance of the departure date the carrier will auto-request your upgrade. Upgrade requests are made after the original ticket is issued.

Tip! If you have placed a reservation on hold in Concur and contact the airline to request the upgrade because your membership program level allows immediate upgrades, please refrain from requesting until after your ticket has been issued. Otherwise, Travel Incorporated will have to change the flights back to coach in order to issue your ticket at the lower coach fare.

What’s On The Roadmap

• Sponsored Guest Travelers – this feature will allow a company to have profiled travelers who are not employees. This can be helpful for travelers that are contract workers. A special permission is required to create sponsored guest traveler profiles. This feature includes an expiration date field to limit bookings after a certain date.

• If no seat is assigned according to profile preference, Concur will automatically open the seat map for the user to select a seat. It will ensure 2 things: the user is aware they need to select a seat AND the user will know whether they are able to have their preferred seat type assigned (aisle, window, etc).

• Beta begins for new User Experience (UX) in October 2014. New UX will provide greater simplicity and ease of use in booking travel. New UX will go live beginning Nov/Dec 2014.
