"If you are using the out of the box booking engine, there is a mechanism where you can build your own step 1, and jump straight to option selection / customer details entry It requires the API for the first step, gives you full design…"

"OK fair enough! Thanks Aled"

"Hi Aled Sorry, no.  That is a design question. Hey some of our tour companies are doing 10 tours a day, every day, using departures. Its a design question on how you layout your page Alex "

"OK thanks! Any plans to add this functionality? My tour page won't look that nice with 50+ departures on it for the next year. Cheers Aled"

"Hi Aled You can't - this is what you have to use departures for Best wishes. Alex"

"Yes we are working on it! Next event for sure, keep in your diary, November 5th - Monday, first night of WTM London..... going to have our Small Fish Big Ocean event evening again! ;) Alex"
