The Tripplanning.biz integration with FlightBridge enables operators to request and manage various travel related services with minimal data entry. Users can coordinate services such as hotel rooms, rental cars, catering, ground transportation as well as notify the FBOs of arrivals/departures, service needs, etc. through FlightBridge from within the Tripplanning.biz account. Confirmation details for service orders will flow back into the notes field in Tripplanning.biz and be viewable on your trip sheets.
