Edit Existing Arrival
Overview
The Edit Arrival function allows administrators to update an existing arrival destination. This includes modifying identification data, geographical details, timezone settings, insurance mapping, and online availability.
Changes apply to all future bookings. Existing bookings will retain previously stored arrival data unless the booking is manually updated.
Expected Behavior
The system must allow:
Updating arrival details
Adjusting timezone and GMT offsets
Changing insurance area mapping
Enabling or disabling online availability
Maintaining data integrity for historical bookings
All changes must be saved before they become active.
Customer Outcome
Accurate and up-to-date destination information
Correct time and transfer calculations
Proper insurance classification
Clean and consistent destination database

TimeZone - Changing timezone affects:
Arrival time calculations
Transfer scheduling
Time-based integrations

Important Considerations
Before editing an existing arrival:
