# Change the dates or set the first day of a trip

> Set or change the first day of a Localflow trip. See how the price check shows which hotel prices change, and what to check on the vehicle afterwards.

Many enquiries arrive with only a month, or no date. In Localflow you can set the first day at any time. The route keeps its days, and each day gets its date. Localflow then checks the hotel prices for those dates.

## Set or change the first day

**1. Open the date picker**

Click the dates in the trip header, for example **10–16 Mar**, or **Dates not set**. The box **When do they travel?** opens.

**2. Pick the day**

On **Exact day**, click the first day. To give only a month, use **Month only**.

**3. Read the price check**

Localflow shows **Dates will move to** the new day, how many prices stay the same and how many change.

**4. Choose**

Click **Update prices and set first day** to use the new hotel prices. Or **Set first day only** to keep today's prices. **Keep the day** closes it with no change.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Hotels priced from their price list move to the new season's price. A price you typed yourself stays as typed, under **Kept as typed**.

## Check the vehicle after a date change

When the trip's days change, the vehicle asks you to confirm the distance. The vehicle line shows **Not priced** until you answer.

![The vehicle box asking The trip's days changed. Still 605 km? with Distance is right and Change distance](https://mintcdn.com/localflow-help/-7jmDiPwUk5YVCM5/images/shots/vehicle-box.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=-7jmDiPwUk5YVCM5\&q=85\&s=8690f70547f75ef1257c0d85ea48160f)

1. Open the vehicle line in **Costing** (or click **1 to check** in the header).
2. Click **Distance is right**, or **Change distance**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Until you answer, the total in the header leaves out the vehicle. It shows, for example, "USD 804 + 1 not priced".

## If a version was already sent

Changing the dates does not change a sent version. Issue a new version to send the new dates. See [Issue a new version](https://help.localflow.travel/tasks/issue-a-new-version.md).
