What’s New in SAP Concur Travel: April 2026 Update Explained
At World Travel Service, we know that even small changes to your booking experience can have a big impact on your day-to-day travel planning. That’s why we’re committed to keeping you informed about updates that may affect how you use your tools.
As part of ongoing enhancements from SAP Concur, a recent April 2026 release introduced updates to how time preferences are selected during the air booking process.
What Changed?
One of the most noticeable updates is a new time preference slider within the flight search experience.
This slider replaces or enhances previous time selection methods, allowing travelers to:
- Select preferred departure or arrival times more dynamically
- Adjust time windows with greater flexibility
- Refine search results in a more visual way
While the intent is to improve usability and personalization, we understand that changes like this can take some getting used to—especially for frequent travelers accustomed to the previous format.
Why Did This Change Happen?
This update is part of SAP Concur’s broader product evolution roadmap for 2026, focused on:
- Improving user experience
- Increasing booking flexibility
- Modernizing the interface across devices

What This Means for You
It’s important to note:
- This update is system-wide within Concur Travel
- It is not a customization made by World Travel Service
- All users on the platform will experience this change
If your organization books directly or uses Concur independently, you will see the same functionality.
Tips for Navigating the New Experience
To help you adjust quickly, here are a few simple tips:
- Use the slider first to narrow your preferred time range before reviewing results
- Combine filters (airlines, stops, price) with the time slider for more targeted options
- Adjust gradually to fine-tune exact time windows
After a few uses, most travelers find the tool becomes more intuitive and efficient.
