To create a flight or a series of flights in under two minutes, follow these steps:
- Connect to your CitizenPlane platform and go to the "My Flights" page.
- Click on the Drop Button to “Add Flights”
- Enter the flight's origin and destination. A calendar will then appear.
- If this is a single flight, click on the flight date. You can then add a return flight that will be sold separately.
- If you want to sell a series of flights:
- Click on the date of the first flight and then on "Add recurrence".
- Select the period where they will fly (for instance, from June 1st to October 31st).
- Select the day of the week for the outward flight (for instance, every Monday).
- Click on "Add return flights" and choose a period of time as well as a day of the week for return flights.
- If there are some dates where you do not want to sell your flight, do not worry. You will be able to delete some specific dates later in the process.
- Click on "Add Flight Details".
- Enter flight details by clicking on the "Add a Flight" card:
- Hours of departure and arrival (local time)
- Terminals (if necessary)
- Click on Technical Stop or Stop-Over if the flight makes a stop (and changes flight numbers for Stop-Over)
- Airline and flight number
- Luggage hold: specify the weight. If it is free, then click the "Free luggage" button. Otherwise, specify the price of one piece of luggage
- Minimum price and available seats: these can be specified here or changed later.
- If you have created a series of flights, then the list of dates will appear here. You can unclick the dates where you are not flying, if there are any. If you have created return flights, then do the same for return flights.
- Click on "Save Flight".
- If you need passenger passport information for this flight (date and country of issue, expiration date), then click the "Does this flight require APIs?" button. We ask that you please do not ask for this information unless it is absolutely mandatory for passengers to fly.
- Click on "Check and Confirm". Here, you can check all your flights before you upload them.
- Click on the green button to create all your flights. Your flights will then appear as "Pending" (purple dot). Wait a few minutes, and we'll open them!
- You can then update each flight's info: number of seats, price, etc.
- You’re done!
Creating flights can be a time-consuming process, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, there are several ways to create flights more efficiently:
- Using an Excel file is one such way. We provide a simple template that you can use to enter all of the necessary flight information. This can save you a lot of time compared to manually entering each detail.
- Another way to create flights more quickly is by creating a direct connection between your server and ours. This can further streamline the flight creation process, as all of the necessary data can be transmitted automatically.
