Add a new journey rather than editing the old one
When a relative joins after the main group, create a separate arrival entry. Record the new traveller’s flight, local arrival date, destination and luggage. Do not increase the passenger count on the first group’s booking unless the actual arrival arrangement is being changed and reviewed.
This distinction matters even if the later traveller is staying in the same room or sharing the rest of the itinerary. Accommodation arrangements do not make two different arrival days a single transport service.
Check the joining point
Confirm where the family will be when the relative arrives. The first hotel on the original plan may no longer be the right destination if the group has already moved. Use the actual accommodation or agreed meeting address for that date, not the place everyone remembers from the first booking.
If the joining plan is undecided, mark the destination as provisional. Ask for the request to be assessed once the address is clear rather than presenting a convenient landmark as the final destination.
Review later party counts
After the relative joins, the onward journeys may involve a different number of travellers and bags. Compare the updated party with those bookings and request any necessary review. Adding a person to the family itinerary does not automatically change a vehicle allocation already agreed elsewhere.
The later arrival should have its own travelling contact and current instructions. If the main organiser will already be occupied with the group, agree who can respond to questions from the joining traveller without duplicating or contradicting the booking communication.
The result should be a clear addition to the trip, not a revision that accidentally disrupts the confirmed first arrival. Treat each travel day as its own request, then check the points where the new traveller changes the shared plan.
