TRAVEL$ENSE89You should try to run acomparable number of daysahead to get the mostrepresentative fareinformation. If the past tripnormally would be priced 14days ahead, you should adjustthe date to this time as well.As with other Travel$ensedate input screens you cantype directly in the three datefields, use the up/down arrowkeys on your keyboard withineach field or click or hold onthe up/down arrow buttonson the screen afterhighlighting the field you wishto change.Travel$ense then will obtain airline data for the trip, shifting all dates thenumber of days specified starting with the first leg. This shifting will happen inthe background when getting information from the reservation system. Flightresults will show the original date so that the trip analysis can be run.A note will appear on the Comparable Airline Tab itself, on the Airline PriceDetail Screen and on the Detailed Trip Report stating that time-shifting wasused and the number of days involved. Daylight savings time adjustments alsoautomatically are shifted back in time from the airline data obtained (e.g.relative time difference between Arizona and California airports changesdepending on the time of year).Manually Defining Airline TripsA Manual Input button is available on the upper right portion of theComparable Airline Tab. This button is active only when airline information hasnot been obtained from the reservation system or upon clearing the existingtrip. Now that Release 3 can temporarily “time-shift” past trips to obtain flightdata, there normally is no reason to use manual input.WHEN TO USE MANUAL INPUT• Your online connection (Internet or via modem to CompuServe) is notavailable and you need a trip comparison badly enough to accept theinaccuracy of making up the flight information and the pricing yourself.Copyright © 1999, National Business Aviation Association, Inc.
