Create new scheme

Go to 'Arrival and departure schemes', in the Setup module. Click 'New scheme'. After giving it a name, you’ll see two tabs: 'Connected types' and 'Arrival and departure'.

• Click 'Connect type' to start connecting one or more types. Consider connecting the same types that are connected to a price list.

• Go to the 'arrival and departure' tab to specify valid arrival and departure days.

  • Use the generator to set up your standard arrival and departure days for long into the future.

  • Activate or de-activate any deviating dates in the day-by-day overview.

Copy from other scheme

If you have already set up an arrival and departure scheme, and want to create a second one that is rather similar, save yourself time and use the button 'Copy from other scheme' to copy the content into your current arrival and departure scheme.

Managing online availability

Temporarily blocking particular dates or longer periods from being available for booking online is best done by using restrictions. With restrictions, you can finetune your availability in ways that you cannot do with an Arrival and Departure scheme.

Stimulating lengths of stay

Arrival and departure schemes can be used to optimize yield from your price lists by stimulating certain LOS, during different times of year.

Example

Use the generator to only allow Fridays and Sundays as check-in and check-out days during the summer holiday date range:

• Essentially forces your guests to book a midweek, weekend, full week, or a combination of those that begin and end on these set days.

• When combined with LOS prices, your revenue becomes very predictable. When combined with night prices, you keep the flexibility of pricing rules.
