View Reservations List

There are many ways to access reservations for a customer in MyFBO. The fastest way to see a reservation list for a customer is to put the customer In Focus and select View/Update / Reservations, as shown in the screenshot below. If no reservations exist for the customer, an option will appear to schedule a future flight or handle an immediate flight.

View Reservations

View Reservation Details

On the reservation list there are "Detail" buttons that allow access to the full details of an individual reservation. Reservation details are also frequently accessed from the Flights Today Schedule, which is the schedule view commonly used by Front Desk staff and dispatchers. This is accomplished by clicking the reservation block on the schedule, which results in a quick reservation details pop-up where the information can be viewed and /or the reservation can be revised.

Quick Reservation Details Pop-up

To view the most complete details of a reservation, use either the "Detail" button on the reservation list, or use the "Full Detail" button on the reservation details pop-up.

Delete Reservation

Reservations can be cancelled from any of the various detail views, but the quickest way to cancel multiple reservations for a customer is from the reservation list. Simply click the cancel box next to the applicable reservations, then click the "Delete" button at the bottom of the page. The next screen will prompt you to enter the reason for cancellation, which is always recommended as this information is included in cancellation reporting. Once remarks are entered, a confirmation screen will appear. The confirmation screen will give options to print and/or notify the customer by email. 

Note: Do not use the previous method if you intend to apply a cancellation fee. Canceling a reservation and applying a cancellation fee must start from either the full reservation details page (screenshot above) or the Review Tab / Dispatch Status page. For complete information, please read Cancellation Charge Processing.

Changing Reservations Details

The Reservation Details page allows all the details of a reservation to be changed by using links in the "Click to Modify" column. Depending upon the reservation type and your system options, possible changes include: 

Type

Users often ask about the letters that follow the word �Rental� on the Reservation Details page. For example, �Type: Rental (DI)� often appears. The letters in the parentheses provide more detail about rental reservations, breaking them into �subtypes.� Subtype codes that begin with �S� are for solo, �D� for dual, and �G� for ground. The complete list of codes is as follows:  Why this additional detail? The Qualification and Limitation Checker uses the subtype to determine what to check. Some examples: No TSA check should be made on non-citizens unless the flight is instructional. Check rides, which carry subtype DP, are not instructional, and thus not subject to TSA restrictions. For subtype S2, both pilots must qualify. In some states and jurisdictions, the subtype is also used by the system to determine how a flight is taxed. If instructional flights (subtypes SI, DI, DC, and D2) are exempt according to state law, no sales tax is applied.

Time

To change the date or time of a reservation click the "Time" link in the left column of the Reservation Details page.  The appropriate single day or multi day Modify Reservation Time page will appear. As you go through the process, note the option to "Notify Customer", which will send a confirmation e-mail of the change to the customer when the box is checked.
