Managing Single Parcels Across Multiple Trips on AirJIT

Efficiently handle parcels that span multiple trips

Understanding Single Parcels in Multiple Trips​

Some parcels may need to be transported across multiple trips within a single travel plan. This requires careful coordination and management to ensure successful delivery.

Example Scenario​

Consider a parcel that needs to be transported from JFK in the US to SNG in Singapore:

  1. Trip 1: JFK to LHR (3-day stay)
  2. Trip 2: LHR to DXB (3-day stay)
  3. Trip 3: DXB to SNG

Managing Collection and Delivery​

For each trip:

  1. Trip 1:

    • Collect the parcel at JFK
    • Deliver it upon arrival at LHR

  2. Trip 2:

    • Collect the parcel at LHR
    • Deliver it upon arrival at DXB

  3. Trip 3:

    • Collect the parcel at DXB
    • Deliver it to the final recipient in SNG

Tips for Successful Multi-Trip Parcel Handling​

  1. Maintain Clear Records:

    • Keep detailed records of parcel collection and delivery for each trip
    • Document any special handling requirements
    • Track all handoffs and transfers

  2. Communicate with Shippers:

    • Ensure shippers are aware of the multiple trip process
    • Provide regular updates on parcel status
    • Keep communication channels open for questions or concerns

  3. Stay Organized:

    • Use a system to track the parcel's journey through multiple trips
    • Keep all documentation organized and accessible
    • Plan ahead for each handoff point
    • Monitor transit times and potential delays

  4. Risk Management:

    • Have contingency plans for delays or issues
    • Keep contact information for all parties involved
    • Understand liability and insurance coverage for extended transit
    • Monitor weather and other potential disruptions
