How booking and reservations work

Managing employee travel can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s where you can find important info—like how to navigate company reservations—so you and your team can focus on staying productive.

Booking travel

If your company is part of Airbnb for Work, Airbnb allows a trip planner to request a reservation on another employee’s behalf. If they book, the business traveler will receive a notification about the requested reservation and can accept or deny the request.
