Set the executive travel scope

Build an Executive Travel Itinerary starts with a written boundary. Name the request, the source, the owner, and the evidence. A clear rule keeps routine coordination separate from executive judgment.

The main risk is that a traveler can arrive without a confirmation or a backup contact. Record the source and time before changing a status.

Capture the evidence

A usable record includes traveler, booking, confirmation, meeting, contact, and change. Keep the source beside the record so another reviewer can reconstruct what happened.

The executive assistant confirms the decision or exception. The assistant can confirm bookings, assemble the itinerary, and route changes, but should not fill a gap with an assumption.

Separate preparation from judgment

Decisions about travel policy and executive preferences remain with the authorized owner. Use three labels: proceed, pause for missing evidence, and escalate.

Run the review

Review missing confirmations, changes, and contact gaps. For example, a flight is cancelled before a keynote. Record what evidence was available and who owned the next step.

Pilot one workflow

Start with one trip. Test the checklist on a small batch and review exceptions with the owner.
