Seat Allocations Screen

The Seat Allocations screen, accessed from the menu (Operations -> Seat Allocations), plays a vital role in your inventory management strategy.

Rolling Allocations

If a flight’s seat allocations apply to future flights on the same Route, you may choose to Roll them forward. This saves time as there is no need to re-enter the allocation details. To Roll allocations, select the flight with the proper allocations, and click Roll Forward on the Seat Allocations screen. This opens the Roll Allocation screen, where you can select the date range and frequency / operational days (days of the week) for the roll. Click the Roll button to complete the operation.
