What goes in one day
- Day number and date, with the weekday. "Day 3, Wed 19 May". Customers check dates against closures and their own plans.
- A title. The place and the main sights, so the day reads in one line on the trip-at-a-glance table.
- Morning, afternoon, evening. Each with a start time, and the travel time for every drive.
- What is included and what is not. An entry, a ride or a show paid on the spot is said so, on the day.
- Overnight. The hotel, the town and the meals. The last day says the drop point instead.

A slow start and a clear return time. Beach days go wrong when the customer does not know when the car leaves.

Shared or private is stated, because it changes the pick-up time and the customer's day. Pick-up times are local time.
A pilgrimage day: Vaishno Devi

| Early morning | Collect the yatra RFID card before you start. The trek is about 12 km each way from Katra. |

What the agency arranges and what the traveller does on their own are kept apart.
Rules for every day
- Times, not adjectives. "Leave at 8:00, about 40 minutes" helps more than "a breathtaking drive".
- One title per day. If a day needs two titles, it is probably two days, or too much for one.
- A rest day is a day. Write it: "Free day. The driver is not on duty." Customers plan around it.
- The same hotel name everywhere. The day, the hotels table and the quotation say it the same way.
- No prices on the day. They belong on the quotation, which is sent separately.

Write a day once in a template and it drops into the next ticket; drag days to reorder and the dates follow. The itinerary PDF prints every day in your logo and colour, with no money on it.
