A trip is the central workspace for managing a client's travel plans in TripLoft. Everything related to a trip, including travelers, proposals, bookings, payments, documents, tasks, and communication, lives inside a single trip record.

The Trip Page

When you open a trip, you'll see three main areas:

  • Trip Header - Displays the trip name, owner, dates, status, and cover image.

  • Left Navigation - Provides access to all trip-related tabs and features.

  • Content Area - Displays the contents of the selected tab.

By default, the Overview tab is selected when a trip is opened.
​

The cover image can be uploaded when creating a trip and updated later from Settings.


Trip Details

Each trip includes a name, duration, type, and status that help define and organize it.

You can switch between these options at any time.

​
Trips can be created as either:

  • Regular Trip - Standard trip planning workflow.
