Flighting enables you to break out a placement based on time periods that need to be tracked individually. Flights may have varying costs and quantities associated with each time period.

This article will discuss general flighting. There are also specific functions built in to support:

### Flight a Placement

Here is how to flight a placement in a media plan:

CAUTION: In order to use flighting, you must first setup the placement.

TIP: It is often most efficient to complete the details of the placement before enabling flighting. Data entered will automatically pass down through each of the flights so you only need to change differences within individual flights.

1. For the Placement you wish to flight, Click on the **Action Items menu**.
2. Select **Enable Flighting**.
3. Enter the **Start Date and End Date** of the flight.  *(These dates will automatically populate if you already entered them in the placement.)*
4. Select how you would like the **flights to be broken out** based on the policies available.
5. Click **Add Flights**.
6. Find your new **Flighted Placement**.

Once completed, the placement header will contain the core placement details. There will be line items for each flight breakout that will enable to you modify variances for each flight, such as cost, quantity, KPIs, etc.

You can also adjust any Start Date and End Date for a given flight to support blackout periods.

### Add Additional Flights

Here's how to add additional flight members:

1. Open the **Action Items Menu** on the Flight Header.
2. Press the **Add More Flights** button.
3. Choose **Where to Add Flights using the Radio button**.
4. Enter the **Start Date and End Date** of the new flight(s).
5. Select how you would like the **flights to be broken out** based on the policies available.
6. Click **Add Flights**.

NOTE: Bionic will automatically generate the flights and populate flight dates based on the policy selected. You may make any adjustments to individual dates as necessary, and the flights will automatically adjust based on the following policy:

- Start Date for 1st flight will always be a specific date
- The Start Date for subsequent flights will be right after previous flight by default.  You can modify this policy for individual flights after the flights have been created.  Click in the Start Date field and select the policy you need.

Rates and quantities can be modified for each flight by changing those attributes on that specific flight member.

![A screenshot of the Action Items Menu, highlighting how to add more flights.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/add-flights.png?width=688&height=403&name=add-flights.png)

![A screenshot of the Add More Flights dialog.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/add-flights-1.png?width=688&height=473&name=add-flights-1.png)

### Collapse/Expand Flights

To condense your media plan you can collapse flights. This will take all lines you have dedicated to a flight and collapse them into just one row, the placement header. Once collapsed, you can expand the flight to display all lines again. Here's how:

1. Click on the **Flight Icon** to collapse (or expand) flights.

NOTE: Once collapsed only the flight header will appear. The flight icon will now show a vertical airplane with the number of flights for that placement.

![A screenshot of how to expand/collapse flights in a media plan.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/expand-flights.png?width=688&height=529&name=expand-flights.png)

### Delete Flights

You may delete individual flights or multiple flights simultaneously in a media plan. Here's how:

1. Delete Individual Flights
2. Bulk Delete Flights

#### Delete Individual Flights

1. Click on the **Action Items Menu** next to the flight you want to remove.
2. Select **Delete This Flight** to remove this flight.

NOTE: Prior or subsequent flights dependent upon this flight will automatically update to reflect the change.

![A screenshot of the Action Items Menu, highlighting how to delete a flight.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/delete-flight.png?width=688&height=798&name=delete-flight.png)

#### Bulk Delete Flights

1. Check off the **boxes of the flight(s)** you wish to delete.
2. Press the **Delete** button.
3. Click the **Delete** buttonin the confirmation popup.

 NOTE: If you delete ALL flights for a placement, the placement will also be deleted.  At least ONE flight must be left to keep the placement.

![A screenshot of a media plan, highlighting how to use the delete button to delete multiple flights simultaneously.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/bulk-delete.png?width=688&height=653&name=bulk-delete.png)

![A screenshot of the Delete Rows confirmation dialog.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/bulk-delete-1.png?width=688&height=264&name=bulk-delete-1.png)

### Flight a Package

When you flight at the package level, each placement within the package will be flighted exactly the same.  You will control the flighting within the package header. This is helpful when all placements in a package will share the same flight variances.

Here's how to Flight a Package:

CAUTION: You must first set up a package. Learn more on creating packages here: [Build Out Packages and Roadblocks](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/build-out-packages-roadblocks?hsLang=en).

1. Click the **Action Items Menu** of the package header.
2. Select **Flight at Package Level**.
3. Enter the **Start/End Dates**.
4. Select the **date policy of the flights**.
5. Press **Add Flights**.
6. Find the newly created **Flighted Package**.

NOTE: The flights will be applied to each of the placements in the package and must be controlled from the package header.

To add another flight to each placement within the package, follow the same steps found in the [**Adding Additional Flights** ](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/flight-placements-packages#add)section of this article. Adding a flight to one placement will update all placement in the package.

![A screenshot of the Enable Flighting dialog.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/flight-package-1.png?width=534&height=758&name=flight-package-1.png)

![A screenshot of a media plan, highlighting a newly created flighted package.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Flight%20Placements%20and%20Packages/flight-package-2.png?width=688&height=339&name=flight-package-2.png)

 

### Unlink Package Flights

Once you have set up flighting at the package level, you can unlink flights from the package if needed. Here's how:

1. Click the **Action Item Menu** of the package header.
2. Select **Unlink Flights from Package**.
3. You will now see a **Package with individually flighted placements**.
