2026 Q1 Newsletter – Hotel Committee Update

To reiterate on the previous email sent out last week, your hotel committee is very happy to see the beginning of the rollout of Navan for all crewmembers’ bookings.  As stated, this will be done in sections with instructors getting the initial self-booking benefit.  Line crews will eventually be able to self-book training but that will be communicated later when that is officially available.  As for now Crew Services and Crew Travel will be using Navan to make Crew hotel and airfare bookings.  If you haven’t already done so, please download the Navan app to your personal device or your company iPad. Once you have it installed you will then set up your profile including all of your loyalty numbers. For the time being the hotel and flight information will still be on your Merlot notes (we have been told) but it will eventually only show on the Navan app. One of the benefits of using the Navan app is the presence of the digital credit card within the app itself.  Should you run into a situation where the hotel says they do not have a card on file,  (which will be much more of a rare occurrence with Navan) you will be able to pull up the credit card attached to the booking and instantly send it to the hotel.  Please watch out for further updates from the company as more functionality is added.

Rental cars continue to be a top question.  Rental cars are not guaranteed by the CBA.  If you are on a charter that has a rental car it will show up in the Navan app.  If not, then that charter does not require a rental car for the crews.  The continuing multi-day pairings for scheduled service will not include rental cars.

The company has informed the committee that the issues of rooms being cancelled for the PUJ crews with early arrivals into PUJ has been resolved and should not happen again. Please continue to reach out to the committee if you have issues in PUJ.  If you are booked into a hotel that is not in the below list and you have questions, please reach out to the committee.

Please reach out to the committee with any other issues.
