8. Am I able to hold a trip?

If your trip requires manager approval it is recommended to price out your trip rather than placing it on hold. Holding your reservation doesn’t guarantee the price, and it typically expires by 11:59pm. Airlines discourage holding the same flights repeatedly due to a practice called “churning” which is outlined in the State of Minnesota Contract Release. Instant purchase carriers like Sun Country don’t allow you to hold flights.

****If you need to hold a trip, you will need to toggle back to Classic Deem****
