  • MIN LOS (Minimum Length of Stay): Requires a minimum stay for any booking arriving on the date chosen. I.e. 2 night MIN LOS on a Friday would require any booking made with an arrival date of Friday to stay 2 nights.
  • MAX LOS (Maximum Length of Stay): Requires a maximum stay for any booking arriving on the date chosen. I.e. 4 night MAX LOS on a Sunday would require any booking made with an arrival date of Sunday to limit the stay to 4 nights.
  • Arrivals: CTA (Closed to Arrival). If this box is checked, then the rate plan will be unavailable for bookings with this arrival date. I.e. Saturday is checked. A guest making a booking will not be able to choose Saturday as an arrival date.
  • Closed (Closed to Availability): If this box is checked, then the rate plan will be completely closed to availability. This means that a booking can't be made to arrive or stayover on this date. Use this setting to completely close out availability for a date or date range.

Please note the difference between using "Arrivals" and "Closed".

  • "Arrivals" effectively closes the Rate Plan and makes any Room Type it is assigned to unavailable to arrival on the channel the Rate Plan is allocated to I.e. website, GDS and Front desk.
  • "Closed" makes any Room Type it is assigned to unavailable for  arrival and/or stay-overs, meaning availability is completely closed on the channel the Rate Plan is allocated to I.e. website, GDS and Front desk.

Examples

Closed to Arrival- Using the "Arrival" Restriction

for multiple Rate Plans

Closed to Booking - Using the "Closed" Restriction

a Single Rate Plan

In this example, we want to adjust restrictions for all of our Rate Plans during the Summer months.

To do this, select all of the Rate Plans in the "Select Rate" drop down list. Choose the date range - June 1- August 31, 2017 and click display rates. For this time period, we want to have a MINLOS for all weekends and Closed to Arrival on all Saturdays (meaning no bookings can be made to arrive on a Saturday, but remains available to stay-overs)

In this example, we want to offer an August Booking Special. All bookings made for stay in August will get the discounted rate.

To do this, select the Rate Plan in the "Select Rate" drop down list. To close the rate plan to availability for all months except August, choose the date range from today's date through July 30 and click display rates. Check the "Closed" Box for each day and click Save. Then, change the date range to September 1- Dec. 2019 or a date in the future and repeat the steps. This closes availability for stay for all months except August.
