80TRAVEL$ENSERelease 3 differs from Release 2 in letting you define the meeting start and endtime (if known), rather than defining extra site time.Creating Multiple Meetings per LegNEW T$3FEATURERelease 3 allows for multiple meetings starting or ending at a given leg. Twogroups of passengers may be flying into a given airport for meetings in differentlocations, particularly in a larger city. Each meeting probably should have its owndrive time. This ideally is set on this screen.To create a meeting, click on the “Add” button then select the starting andending legs from the drop-downs menus. The Available Attendees box now willpopulate with all passengers available within these legs and show whether theyare assigned to a meeting yet. Click on the passengers attending the newmeeting and then on the “>>” button to move them to the new meeting. Editthe drive time or meeting start/end time as appropriate, and then click on“Save.”It is important to edit meetings prior to getting airline results. Later edits willprompt to erase airline results as it may invalidate the data already otained.New in Release 3 is the ability to designate that the meeting starts the nextmorning or ends the previous afternoon, indicating that the business aircraftpassengers have a layover. The comparable airline now will schedule for themeeting start/end time, which may or may not also involve a layover asdetermined by available airline flights.Airline flights now are scheduled for after-hours meetings as indicated by themeeting start/end time. It is important to indicate the true meeting starting andending times if any layovers are involved for business aircraft passengers. A 7:00p.m. meeting start means that the comparable airline passenger may have tospend much of that day traveling to ensure an ontime arrival at 7:00 p.m. If thetrue meeting start time were scheduled first thing the next day, the airlinepassengers could travel later in the day, perhaps arriving at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.Copyright © 1999, National Business Aviation Association, Inc.
