Enhancements for 2019.2.0 (July 2019)

Improved lower cost flight recommendation engine

  • Description: Users that have selected an out-of-policy flight, or a flight that is not the lowest cost option, will be presented with an improved and refined recommendation list for selection.

Company based non-compliant policy message 

  • Description: Users that have selected an out-of-policy flight are presented with a non-compliance message.

For example, Deem's non-compliant policy message now states, "Your trip is not compliant with the travel guidelines for Deem".

Hotel rooms incorrectly displaying as sold out

This issue has been resolved and all applicable carriers will display the checkbox as selected.

Pre-trip approval notification recipient issue

Issue:A mismatch between the auto-cancelled and pre-trip approver configurations was causing the incorrect person to be included as the email notification recipient. This issue has been resolved.
