# Adding stays and transportation

Add hotels, flights, trains and other bookings to a trip by hand, and see how they appear on your days.

Add where you're sleeping and the flights, trains, buses, ferries and car rentals between. Each one then shows up on the right day of your itinerary.

## The Bookings tab

Open your trip and go to **Bookings** (on a phone, under **More** in the bottom bar). It has three sub-tabs:

- **Stays** — hotels, Airbnbs and other lodging.
- **Transport** — flights, trains, buses, ferries and car rentals.
- **Documents** — every file uploaded to the trip (see [Importing a confirmation](https://help.getplannery.com/bookings/importing-a-confirmation.md)).

On a phone, **Add Stay** and **Add Transportation** in the **+** menu open the same forms.

## Adding a Stay

1. In **Bookings**, under **Stays**, tap **Add Stay**.

2. Choose **Enter manually**. (**Import from a file** reads a confirmation for you instead.)

3. Fill in the form:

   - **Stay Name** and **Address** — start typing the address or hotel name and pick the match so Plannery can place it on the map.
   - **Stay Type** — Hotel, Airbnb, VRBO, Resort, Hostel, Bed & Breakfast, Vacation Rental, Campsite or Other.
   - **Total Cost (USD)**.
   - **Check-in Date** and **Check-out Date** — the calendar only offers dates inside your trip.
   - **Check-in Time** and **Check-out Time** — blank means 3:00 PM and 11:00 AM.
   - **Host Name** and **Confirmation Code**, plus optional **Phone Number**, **Booking URL** and **Stay Photos**.

4. Tap **Create Stay**.

## Adding Transportation

1. In **Bookings**, under **Transport**, tap **Add Transport**.

2. Choose **Enter manually**, then answer **What are you adding?** — **Flight**, **Train**, **Bus**, **Ferry**, **Car Rental** or **Other**.

3. Fill in the leg:

   - For a flight, the **Flight** number (Plannery recognises the airline from it), then **Depart** and **Arrive** dates and times, with **From** and **To** airports.
   - For a train, bus or ferry, the same **Depart**/**Arrive** and **From**/**To**, plus a **Provider**.
   - For a car rental, **Pick-up** and **Drop-off** times and locations.
   - **Confirmation #**, **Notes** and **Cost** are optional.

4. Tap **Save**.

Times are in each stop's local timezone. Each leg you save is one row — an outbound and a return are two. Starting from a day's own add menu (**Add Transportation** → **Enter manually**) gives you a longer form where one booking holds several legs, added with **Add another flight** or **Add Leg**.

## How bookings appear on your days

- A Stay puts **Check in to …** on its first day and **Check out of …** on its last. The first and last travel rows of a day are labelled **From** and **To** your stay.
- A night with no Stay covering it shows an **Add stay in \[city\]** card, so the gap is visible.
- Each Transportation leg appears on its day in time order, numbered alongside your stops.

## When a booking no longer fits the trip

If you change the trip's dates or which city a day is in, a booking that no longer lines up gets a note on its card — **These nights are outside your trip now.**, say, or **You're in Lisbon then.** Plannery doesn't move the booking; correct its dates (or the trip's) and the note clears on its own.

## Editing or removing a booking

- **Stay:** tap its card to open it. Fields like **Location**, **Total Cost**, **Host**, **Confirmation**, **Phone** and **Booking link** are edited in place. **Remove** takes it off the trip — the days it covered will show no lodging until you add another.
- **Transportation:** open the menu on a leg's card for **Edit**, **Change type** or **Delete**, or tap the card to edit **Provider**, **Confirmation**, **Total Cost** and **Notes** in place.
