AVAILABILITY TAB Click on Availability and chose either Manage Rooms or See Allocation Manage Rooms Use the MANAGE ROOMS tab to increase or decrease the number of rooms available on either a freesale or BAR contract and also to closeout dates. NB please note JAC TRAVEL LTD offers two varieties of freesale as outlined on the Terms & Conditions. Please ensure you are familiar with what has contractually been agreed. - Uncapped freesale is defined as the ability to sell a specified number of rooms (as indicated on max rooms) until the date is closed out by the hotelier. For absolute clarity, if 2 rooms are entered, 2 rooms is the maximum number of rooms per booking but we can continue to sell 2 rooms until the hotel closes that date for sale. -Capped freesale is defined as the ability to sell a specified number of rooms which are reduced on a per booking basis. For clarity, if 2 rooms are entered and 1 room is booked, there is only 1 room remaining to sell. 5
