This article will detail how to search for flights within your project and all of this page's additional features.

Flight Search Options: One-Way and Round-Trip
Now that your travelers have been added, you can begin searching for flights for each traveler. Please review the traveler's Origin and Destination settings to ensure they are correct. If you need to adjust one or both of these fields, click the field, erase the data, and type in the new airport (it's best to type in the city and search for available airports).
Next, our project page lets you choose whether your traveler is traveling one-way or round-trip. Begin making your selections, including the traveler's departure and return dates (remember that all of your selections will auto-save before you begin searching for flights).
Next, click 'Search Flights'.
A list of flight options will appear.
Flight Search
On the next screen, you will see a list of flight options. Our platform automatically displays 100+ flight options (if available), sorted by best price. You can filter the options displayed by clicking on the filter choices: Stops, Airline, Departure Time, Arrival Time, or Fare Class. There is also a search bar to type in your Airline.
Once you have chosen your flight, you can click on that flight to see available fare class options presented by that airline. The details of each fare will be listed in the displayed options.
Seats Remaining
Within the fare details, you will notice an indicator showing how many seats remain on the flights. This is to allow the User to make choices in light of the possibility of limited seats on the flight.
Fare Details
Each flight option under a flight selection shows available fares within that flight. To the right of the Fare Box, you will see a "Fare Rules" button. Clicking here will provide detailed fare rules for that fare.
Click 'Select Flight' and return to your project. Continue selecting flights for all of your travelers.
Adding multiple people to a flight
Tripgrid has added a feature that allows you to add up to 4 of your project travelers to a flight if they are traveling together on the same flight. This is a relatively new feature based on the number of available seats on the flight.
If you see an alert for limited seats, there is a high likelihood that one or more of your travelers may not get booked. At this time, there is no way to indicate preferences regarding who should get on the flight aside from the first traveler.
To add travelers to a flight:
Once you have chosen the travel parameters for your traveler (departure/return dates if applicable)...
Click on 'Search Flight' to see the flight options.
Choose your flight options and click 'Have more travelers for this flight? Add'.
You will see a modal appear with all travelers in your project.
Add up to 3 more travelers to the same flight and click Add Travelers.
NOTE: We do not allow more than four grouped travelers, as the likelihood of a successful booking decreases due to airline and GDS rules. If you have more travelers who need to be grouped, you can add up to 4 and return to your project to try another search for the remaining members of a group.
NOTE: This model will list all travelers on your project and note who is already on a flight. If you choose to add a person who is already on a flight, they will be added to this new flight group.
This will return you to your project, where those travelers will have those flights selected.
Once you have completed your flight search, click 'Book All Selected Flights' to confirm details and select seats.
