## What I've Learned Billing Travel Clients

Bookings, deposits, itinerary changes - travel invoicing has its own quirks. Here's what actually keeps clients happy and payments on track.

### Break Down Everything

"Trip to Paris - $2,500" raises questions. But "Flights $800, Hotel $1,400, Service Fee $300" makes sense. The more transparent you are, the fewer emails you'll get later.

### Always Include the PNR

The booking reference number ties everything together. When a client asks "what does this payment cover?" six months later, the PNR answers that question immediately.

### Track Deposits Clearly

Split payments cause half my client questions. Use the **"Deposit Paid"** field religiously. Show what's collected vs what's due - no ambiguity.

### Keep Flight Times Separate

Invoices are for money. Attach the itinerary separately. If the schedule changes (and it will), your invoice stays accurate even when flight times don't.
