This topic describes adding or editing alternate airports on the Add or Edit page.

Overview

You can manage the alternate airports that appear for airports when searching for flights. When a traveler specifies an airport, the system recognizes this as the "target" (also known as "parent") airport, and provides alternate airports that are associated with this "target" or "parent" airport. 

In order to have different alternate airports for different groups of users, you create or edit each alternate airport codes list, and then organize the lists into sets that can be assigned to groups. You can add the same list to more than one set.

Tip: For a description of groups, see Groups Tab for Managing Groups.
