How to book

Flights

  • Go to the Flights tab and enter your travel details.

  • Use the Filter at the top of the search results to sort by cheapest, fastest, or earliest departure.

  • Select a fare that fits the Flink Travel Guidelines — review what each fare includes (e.g. baggage, seat selection) before booking.

  • Add your passport under Profile > Wallet > Travel Documents to ensure the correct name is used for all flight bookings.

  • Add any airline loyalty numbers to your profile before booking — your booking will then sync automatically with the airline app for benefits.

  • Please note that the Flexi Option may only be selected if you have received prior approval from Katja or Lilith.

  • Flight check-in must be done directly with the airline provider. Booking confirmations come from [email protected]

Hotels

  • Go to the Stays tab and enter your destination and dates.

  • Choose a hotel in line with the Flink Travel Guidelines.

  • Please note that the Flexi Option may only be selected if you have received prior approval from Katja or Lilith.

  • Payment timing depends on the hotel: some charge at booking (prepaid), others at check-in. Perk's customer care will confirm this by email.

  • If a hotel asks you to pay on arrival: show the payment confirmation in your Perk app. If they still request payment, pay with your card and contact Perk customer care immediately — they will arrange a reversal.

  • To earn loyalty points, add your loyalty program to your Perk profile and use the Loyalty Program filter when searching.

  • Airbnb bookings are possible via the Concierge tab (requires a personal or company Airbnb account).

Trains

  • Go to the Trains tab and enter your journey details.

  • Add any railcard discounts under Profile > Wallet > Train Discount Cards — the discount will be applied automatically.

  • Check fare conditions (e.g. refundability) by clicking the (i) icon next to each available fare.

  • Please note that the Flexi Option may only be selected if you have received prior approval from Katja or Lilith.

  • Ticket delivery options are shown at booking — electronic tickets can be downloaded via email or the Perk app.

Rental Cars

  • Go to the Cars tab and enter your pickup location and dates.

  • Always choose pay in advance option

Complex or Special Bookings (Concierge)

  • Use the Concierge tab for anything not covered by the standard Flights, Stays, Cars, or Trains tabs.

  • Examples: Airbnb, multi-city trips, coach bookings, or other non-standard travel.

  • Please make sure to enter your correct department and cost center

Managing Your Trips

  • Please be aware that most travel is not changeable or cancellable !!!

  • In case you got the permission to change or cancel bookings, you can do so directly in Perk — cancellations are confirmed within the hour, changes within the day.

  • Go to Travel > Trips to view all your bookings.

  • Click on a trip and select Manage Trip to:

  1. Cancel a booking

  2. Change dates, time, or route

  3. Add or change extras (e.g. baggage, seat selection)

  4. Change traveler name(s)

  • Note: You cannot add a new travel type (flight, hotel, car, train) to an existing booking — create a new booking instead.

  • Please make sure to get your manager’s approval for any extra charges.

  • Processing status means Perk is finalizing your booking with the provider. You will be contacted by email or phone if any issues arise.

What to do if there are no connections available within the allowed budget range?

  • Generally, please make sure to book your connections sufficiently in advance (if possible at least 14 days) because they tend to get more expensive the later you do the booking.

  • The website will tell you when a certain booking is not allowed because it exceeds the budget range.

  • When all connections available exceed the allowed budget range, you will have to get a special permit to do the booking via Flink.

  • Nevertheless, this will only be granted under special circumstances.

  • In most cases though, you will have to move your trip to another date where traveling costs are lower.

Customer Support

  • Perk offers 24/7 customer care via chat, phone, and concierge.

  • Chat: Start a chat via the mobile app or on the Perk platform (click the chat bubble when signed in). Many queries can be resolved automatically.

  • Phone: For urgent matters — find the full list of country numbers on the Perk website.

  • Concierge: For complex bookings, log in to Perk and click the Concierge tab.

  • When contacting support, always provide your Trip ID and a clear description of the issue or desired action.

Our parameters for travel:

Before bookings are done, please pay attention to our parameters below in order to book in the interest of the company. In case you have any questions regarding this, please reach out to the Workplace Experience Team via [email protected].

Important

👀 Please note: If a booking is requested late, travel costs will undoubtedly be far higher, which can risk the timing of your travel. If the costs are too high, it will require founder approval. If the trip is deemed not urgent, it will likely be pushed back when travel costs have gone down.
