Many guests don’t start their booking journey knowing exactly what they want to do. They know when they’ll be visiting and want to find experiences that fit their schedule.
That’s where Activity Availability by Date comes in. Instead of browsing activities one at a time, guests can search by their travel dates and instantly see available experiences in a single view, making it easier to discover, compare, and book activities.
Search by Schedule, Not Just Activity
Not every guest starts their booking journey knowing exactly what they want to do.
Some know the activity they’re looking for and are ready to book. Others know when they’ll be visiting and want to explore the experiences available during their trip. Activity Availability by Date is designed specifically for those guests.
With Activity Availability by Date, guests can search based on the dates they’re available and instantly see qualifying activities that fit their schedule, all in one place. Instead of opening multiple activities individually and comparing calendars, guests can browse, compare, and book from a single streamlined experience.
A More Flexible Way to Discover Experiences
Traditionally, the online booking journey starts with choosing a specific activity and then viewing the available dates for that offering. That approach works well when guests already know exactly what they want to book. But many travelers plan differently. They often start with the time they have available and ask questions such as:
- What can we do this weekend?
- What activities are available while we’re in town?
- We only have one morning free. What fits our schedule?
Activity Availability by Date is built around this planning style, allowing guests to begin with their travel dates rather than a specific activity. By presenting all qualifying experiences in a single view, it helps guests quickly discover options, compare availability, and confidently book the activities that best fit their itinerary.
A New Way for Guests to Discover Experiences
Guests can enter:
- A start and end date
- Number of participants
- An optional activity category
Flybook then displays all qualifying activities available during that timeframe in a single chronological view.
Rather than navigating between multiple activity pages, guests can compare options side-by-side, helping them discover experiences they may not have found otherwise.
Results include:
- Activity details
- Pricing
- Available start times
- Remaining availability
And when guests find the experience they want, they can complete the booking without restarting their search.
Powerful Filtering for Faster Discovery
For operators with many activities, guests can quickly narrow results to find the experiences that fit their plans.
Filters include:
- Activity category
- Activity name or keyword
- Trip duration
- Start time
These tools help guests move from “What’s available?” to “This is exactly what we’re looking for.”
Flexible Configuration for Operators
Activity Availability by Date is completely configurable, giving you control over how the experience works for your business.
Operators can:
- Enable or disable the feature
- Choose which activities appear in searches
- Exclude specific offerings
- Create searchable activity categories
- Choose whether to display public activities, private activities, or both
This flexibility allows you to tailor the experience around your operation while maintaining complete control over what guests see.
Designed for Activity Operators
Activity Availability by Date supports Flybook activity configurations, including:
- Open and publicly scheduled activities
- Private or book-on-demand activities
At this time, the feature is focused specifically on activities and does not apply to rentals, tickets, lodging, or other product types.

Why It Matters
The easier it is for guests to discover experiences, the easier it is for them to book.
Activity Availability by Date creates a more discovery-focused booking journey by helping guests explore options based on when they’re available, not just what they already know to search for. Instead of comparing multiple calendars or opening activity after activity, guests can view available options in a single place and book directly from the results.
For operators, that means fewer barriers to booking, more opportunities to surface experiences that may otherwise go unnoticed, and a shopping experience that better matches how many travelers actually plan their trips.
Whether guests arrive knowing exactly what they want or simply knowing when they’ll be in town, Activity Availability by Date helps connect them with the right experience faster.
