Create New Arrival

Overview

The New Arrival configuration is used to create a new arrival destination in the system. An arrival can represent an airport, city, train station, or other transport hub used in bookings, transfers, insurance, and integrations.

This setup ensures that the arrival point can be correctly selected in bookings and connected to flight, transfer, insurance, and mapping logic.

Expected Behavior

The system must allow administrators to:

• Create a new arrival destination

• Define transport and geographical details

• Configure timezone and GMT offset

• Assign insurance area

• Control availability for online booking

The arrival must become selectable in relevant booking flows after saving.

Customer Outcome

• Accurate destination data in bookings

• Correct time calculations for arrival and transfers

• Proper insurance zone mapping

• Improved integration with external systems

• Clean and structured destination database
