Flight Search

Controls the flight search form on your storefront: which trip-type tabs appear, their order, which one opens by default, and how many results a visitor can see.

The settings​

Tabs and order​

Three trip types, each with a switch and a drag handle:

TabThe form opens
One wayWithout a return date
Round tripWith a return date
Multi-cityWith several flight legs

Drag to set the order they appear in, and switch off any you do not want to offer.

At least one tab must stay on

And the default tab must be one of the tabs you left switched on. The form enforces both.

Default tab​

The trip type pre-selected when a visitor opens the flight search form. Choose the one most of your customers want.

Until you save this screen, all three tabs are on in the order One way, Round trip, Multi-city, the default tab is Round trip, and there is no result cap.

Maximum results​

The highest number of flight results a visitor can see. A whole number of 1 or more, or leave it empty for no limit.

SettingEffect
EmptyEvery result is shown
A numberResults are capped at that many, where the flight supplier supports a cap

A cap makes a long result page shorter and easier to choose from. It is sent to the flight supplier with each search, so flights beyond it never reach the page, whatever their price. Setting it too low can hide cheaper options.

Not every supplier supports a cap

Suppliers that do not take a cap return their full results. Depending on which suppliers your platform searches, visitors can still see more flights than the number you set.

What customers see​

The flight search form, with your tabs in your order and your default selected. Result pages respect your cap, where the supplier supports one.

Scenarios​

You only sell return flights​

Switch off One way and Multi-city, leaving Round trip as the only tab and therefore the default.

Multi-city confuses your customers​

Switch it off. The form gets simpler and nothing else changes.

Your result pages are overwhelming​

Set a maximum. Start generously — too low and visitors may never see the cheap options.

Questions​

Can I change the default sort of results? Not on this screen.

Does this affect hotels or activities? No. Flights only.

Why will the form not save? Either every tab is switched off, or the default tab is one you switched off.

Where do I control which airports are suggested? Platform Airports.
