A Group Trip holds many bookings under one shared itinerary, and each booking is a sub-trip. It's linked to its Group Trip but otherwise behaves like an independent regular trip: the same tabs, the same proposal builder, the same bookings, payments, and messaging tools. For how Group Trips fit together, see Group Trips Overview.
What a sub-trip is
A single booking party inside a Group Trip: one traveler, a couple, a family, or a few friends sharing a cabin. It inherits a copy of the group itinerary as it stands when the sub-trip is created, then runs on its own from there, with its own travelers, selections, payments, and authorizations. Changes inside a sub-trip don't flow back to the Group Trip, and later edits to the group itinerary don't reach sub-trips already created.
Sub-trips appear in two places. The Sub-Trips section on the Group Trip's Overview tab is where you create them and see the group's bookings together. They also show up in your main Trips list alongside regular trips, each labeled with the Group Trip it belongs to, so you can find one without going through its parent.
Each sub-trip carries its own status, so one booking can be Active while others are still Draft. They inherit the Group Trip's cover image.
How sub-trips are created
Method 1: A traveler signs up.
Once you publish and share the landing page, a traveler completes the signup form and their sub-trip is created from their answers, including their room or cabin choice and any add-ons. You and the traveler both get a notification, and the new sub-trip appears in the Sub-Trips table on the Group Trip's Overview tab. See What Travelers See During Group Trip Signup.
Method 2:You create one manually.
Click New on the Sub-Trips section for a traveler you already know. This skips the signup wizard entirely. Share the sub-trip with them and they choose their rooms, cabins, and add-ons from their client portal, the same way a client does on a regular trip.
By default a sub-trip is named with the Group Trip name followed by the primary traveler's name, for example "Song of Antarctica - Katie Williams." Rename it any time from Settings, the same way you'd rename a regular trip.
Working inside a sub-trip
Click a row in the Sub-Trips table to open it. It lands on its Overview tab with the same navigation as a regular trip, including Insurance and Automations, which the parent Group Trip doesn't have. Everything behaves as it does on a regular trip, so the existing articles apply directly: Build a Basic Proposal, Understanding the Bookings Tab, and Payment Schedule & Authorization Requests.
The Proposals tab starts from the shared group itinerary, now scoped to this booking and reflecting the traveler's own selections and authorizations. Build, edit, and approve it as you would any proposal.
Optional add-ons in a sub-trip
Add-ons a traveler chose at signup carry through to their sub-trip, and you manage them here the same way you would on a regular trip. See Manage Optional Add-Ons.
Approving a sub-trip's proposal
Approve it as you would any proposal. Add-ons nobody opted into stay optional and out of the trip price, and can still be selected later.
