Default Charge Method

Overview: 

This feature allows your company to define the default settings for a passenger’s Purpose and Charge Method when adding passengers to a trip. By configuring these defaults, each new passenger added will automatically populate with your preferred selections — saving time and ensuring consistency across all trips.

Setting a company-wide default helps streamline trip creation, reduce data entry errors, and maintain consistent reporting and billing information for all passengers.

How to Enable Default Passenger Purpose and Charge Method

1. Go to Settings

   • Click the Gear icon in the top-right corner of your screen.

   • Select All Settings.

2. Navigate to Programs > Schedules > Flight Editing tab

3. Locate the Passenger Section

   • Scroll to the Passengers section.

4. Set Your Defaults

   • Use the dropdown menus to select your preferred:

     • Default Passenger Purpose

     • Default Charge Method
       
       
       

5. Save Changes

   • Click Save to apply your new default settings.
     

Example

When a dispatcher or scheduler adds a passenger to a trip, the Purpose and Charge Method fields will automatically populate with the company’s defined defaults.  The options can still be changed on a per-passenger basis if needed.
