Instructions for Travel Arrangers
2
Travel assistants, or so called Travel Arrangers (e.g. secretaries, travel agents), benefit from additional
possibilities.
The Travel Arranger can:
• Make bookings for employees of his or her company.
• Use the profiles of already registered colleagues when making bookings.
• Create traveller profiles in the company application itself.
• Make use of all the invoicing addresses stored in the company application
• Use the stored (encrypted) credit card details of the traveller when making a booking.
• Generate a cost acceptance form (only with the permission of their Travel Management)
If you mainly book for others, please contact either your Travel Management or us on [email protected]
in order to be registered as a Travel Arranger.

The Travel Arranger function is only available to you
once you have logged in.
The status will be automatically recognised on your
first log in after registration.
This will be visible by the addition "Travel Arranger"
behind your login data.
If “Travel Arranger” is not displayed behind your
customer number, you are not registered. In this
case, please contact your Travel Management or

If you wish to make a booking for a colleague,
proceed as usual.
In the booking step "Your Choice", after you have
decided on a hotel and rate, you can either enter
the e-mail address directly or look for the traveller
via "Select employee".
Enter the traveller's name in the text field and start
the search function.
If you are booking for several people you will have
the opportunity to do this at a later stage. Select
your "customer" / principal traveller here.

The Travel Arranger booking mode is always pre-
selected. Please only change this setting if you wish
to book for yourself, otherwise the Travel Arranger
function is not activated.
As a Travel Arranger you may select the language for
the traveller's booking confirmation.
If the e-mail address entered is not recognised it
means no participant profile exists.
In such cases, please use the one-off registration
in order to be able to use the profile again. This
ensures that the correct data for the traveller will
be transmitted to the hotel.

not have an e-mail address or for whom you do not
wish to create a profile:
Please choose booking „as Travel Arranger“ and select
your profile in booking step 1.
Overwrite your details with those of the traveller.
At the end of the booking process, the confirmation
of reservation will be sent to the e-mail address
stored here. Thus you, as the Travel Arranger,
always receive the confirmation.

Depending on the number of persons selected you
may send details of additional travellers to the hotel.
Each person shown with their e-mail address will
also receive a confirmation of the reservation.
Travel Arrangers also have the possibility to use
their own stored credit card to guarantee bookings
(e.g. the Company credit card).
Generally the traveller's credit card will be shown if
it is stored in their profile. Other stored credit cards
can also be shown and selected.

Cost Acceptance Function for Travel Arrangers.
On completion of the booking you will have the
opportunity to create and send the form. You can send
a fax to the hotel with a simple click. This function has
to be agreed by your Travel Management.
Please note: It is up to the hotels whether they will
honour the cost acceptance or not.
You can bring up the cost acceptance at any time
to view or re-send. This can be done through your
booking overview.

The passive PNR (Passenger Name Record) is
shown for travel agencies. It serves to connect a
reservation in a GDS (e.g. Amadeus) with such
things as flight reservations.
The PNR assists the travel agent to find the
booking in their own system or to cancel, rebook or
make analyses.
These PNRs are available to you.

colleague in their absence.
All members of the Travel Arranger group decide if
they wish to have such an arrangement.
A Travel Arranger group is set up through your
Travel Management and in agreement with
