required to download separate applications for each language; however, you must make
sure you are using version 5.1.x. (You may need to update the app manually.) Once you
have installed CWT To Go version 5.1, the app will use the language configured for your

through the registration process step by step.
Q. I used CWT To Go prior to May 6, 2013. Can I use the same
login/password?

that was originally launched on May 6, 2013.
Features
Q. Are all features available on all devices?
A. No, some features vary by device.
Itineraries
Q. I booked a trip through my company’s online booking tool or CWT
travel counselor. Will my reservation sync with CWT To Go?
A. Yes, your trip details (air, hotel, rental car, etc.) will automatically sync with CWT To
Go and be able to be viewed and managed as one master trip, whether you book online
using your online booking tool or offline through your CWT travel counselor.
3/14
Q. How long will it take for a newly booked CWT reservation to populate
in CWT To Go?
A. Your trip information may take up to 30 minutes to sync to the app.
Q. In my list of upcoming trips, why does the trip name differ from my
destination city?
A. The “Trip to” name comes from the city where the traveler stays the longest, which
typically corresponds to the address of the traveler’s hotel. That said, Android,
BlackBerry, iPhone and iPad users easily can change the “Trip to” name using the app’s
edit trip feature outlined below.
Q. Are rail itineraries available in the app?
A. Yes, rail itineraries are available in the app. Depending on the way the rail booking is
processed, it may or may not sync automatically. If your rail itinerary did not sync
automatically with the CWT To Go app, email your confirmation to [email protected]
to have it added. You may also add the details manually on Android, BlackBerry and iOS
devices.
Q. How do I add my non-CWT booked reservations/itineraries to my
CWT To Go app?
A. On all devices, you can forward your non-CWT itinerary from the same email address
that you use to access CWT To Go to [email protected]. Your trip reservation(s) will be
automatically loaded into your app, and you will receive an email confirmation upon
successful upload of the information. Android, BlackBerry and iPhone/iPad users also
have the option of adding trip details to the app manually.
Q. How do I know if my non-CWT booked itinerary can be accepted by
email?
A. Go to http://www.worldmate.com/supported_providers.php for a list of the more than
200 supported suppliers.
Q. I sent my non-CWT booked itinerary to [email protected], but it
does not appear in my CWT To Go app. Why?
A. You must send your itinerary confirmation from the same email address you use to
access CWT To Go. In addition, the travel confirmation must be from a supported travel
provider.
Q. I received a confirmation saying my reservations were successfully
added, but I cannot find them in my CWT To Go account. How do I get
the itineraries to display?
A. On Android or iPhone devices, initiate a manual sync on your device by tapping the
sync button at the top right in the “My Trips” menu of the application. (The sync button
is represented by two arrows in a circle on Android devices and one circular arrow on
iPhone.) On iPad, drag down the “My Trips” menu to sync. On BlackBerry, press the
device’s menu button and select “Synchronize Trips.” On Windows Phone, initiate a
manual sync by tapping the three dots in the lower right hand corner and then sync.
4/14
Q. My travel provider is supported, but the confirmation email is being
rejected. Why?
A. Please make sure:
You forward the confirmation email as is. Do not alter it in any way.
The subject and content of the email are in its original format.
If your email program automatically adds the “FW” prefix in the subject
line, it is okay.
If the mailing program allows it, forward the email in HTML format, rather than
plain text.
Make sure the text of the original email is in the body of the forwarded email and
is not sent as an attachment.
Manually adding and editing trip information
Please keep in mind that adding trip information (such as flight, hotel and rental car) to
CWT To Go does not book the trip nor does deleting trip information cancel the trip. You
will need to book, change or cancel your trip by calling your CWT Travel Counselor or
using your online booking tool. These features are not available on Windows Phone.
Q. How do I add a trip manually?
A. If you don’t want to email your non-CWT booked itinerary to [email protected],
follow these steps to add a trip manually:

calendar. This is due to the sync settings on your device, which differ for each device
type and user.
Q. I’m an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch user. Why did I receive a message
requesting permission for CWT To Go to access my calendar?
A. Apple introduced a new feature in iOS version 6 to provide users control over apps

Technical assistance/troubleshooting
Q. I was a user of the previous CWT To Go app and have installed the
new CWT To Go (on or after May 6, 2013). Why do I now have two
versions of the app on my phone?
A. You simply need to manually uninstall the previous app from your phone. Please
follow the application uninstall instructions for your device.
Q. How do I know which version to uninstall?
A. This icon represents the version that is no longer supported:
Q. I’m using CWT To Go for the first time. Why can’t I see my upcoming
trips?
A. Upon accessing the app for the first time, it may take up to 30 minutes for upcoming
trips to populate. The amount of time depends on the number of reservations per user.
After 30 minutes, you may need to initiate a manual sync on your device by tapping the
sync button in the upper right corner on the “My Trips” screen of the app (iPhone and
Android devices). On the iPad app, drag down the “My Trips” menu to sync. On
BlackBerry, press the device’s menu button and select “synchronize trips.”
Q. Why is my completed trip still showing in the upcoming trips section
of the app?
A. A trip moves to the past trips section approximately one full day after the last day of
the trip. For example, if your trip ended on June 20, it will move to past trips on June 22.
11/14
Q. Why didn’t I receive my flight notification?
A. Flight update notifications start 48 hours before the flight’s departure time. Please
ensure notifications are turned on within the app. (Windows Phone notifications are
always on by default and cannot be turned off.)
Go to Settings > Notifications > locate CWT To Go and tap on it.
Enable and set all of the following to on:
Notifications center.
Alert style (select banners or alerts).
Badge app icon.
Sounds.
View in lock screen.
To enable flight notifications, tap “Travel Notifications” from the “General”
screen of the CWT To Go app.
Verify the following settings under the “Flight Notification” heading:
Notification display: Enabled.
Time before flight: Choose number of hours before flight.
Notification sound: On.
To receive an audio alert:
Verify that the box next to “Audio flight alert” is checked.
If the box is empty, tap on it one time to check the box.
Go to Menu > Settings.
Select flight reminder time.
Turn trip reminder to on.
Turn notification to on.
Q. Flight notifications are enabled. Why am I not receiving alerts?
A. If flight data is missing or late, it is probably due to one of the following reasons:
Airlines occasionally provide data on their respective websites but not to the
flight-tracking industry.
Some airlines do not provide actual gate departure or arrival times.
Some airlines share no data.
Budget and charter airlines tend not to share data or only share limited data, so
the flight may not be listed until near the departure time.
Some airlines—particularly carriers outside the U.S.—do not share any gate data
with the flight-tracking industry.
Gates and terminals often are not provided until approximately 60 minutes prior
to departure.
If you encounter longer delays or inaccurate information, please email us and
include the following:
Airline, flight number and departure date.
The information that you expected to see.
The information that the app displayed.

Troubleshooting for Android-specific features
Q. Why doesn’t the CWT To Go widget appear in the list of widgets?
A. CWT To Go will not appear in the widgets list if the app is not installed to your
phone’s internal memory (i.e., it is installed on an external memory/micro SD card). To
install the app on the device, go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications >
(Select) CWT To Go > (Click) Move to phone. Power cycle your device to apply the
changes. You will see the widget in the widgets list and can add it to your Android’s
home screen.
Q. I added the CWT To Go widget to my Android’s home screen, but now
it is gone. What happened?
A. If you originally installed CWT To Go to your phone’s internal memory and added the
widget, but then moved the app to your phone’s external memory card, the widget will
no longer appear on your home screen. Follow the instructions in the previous question
to be able to use the widget.
13/14
Troubleshooting for BlackBerry-specific features
Q. How do I reset the application permission settings?
A. Depending on which BlackBerry smartphone you have, follow one of these three
paths:
Menu > Options > Advanced Options > Applications.
Menu > Options > Device > Application Management.
Menu > Options > Applications.
Scroll down the list of applications until you find CWT To Go.
Highlight CWT To Go and press the menu button on your device.
Select “edit permissions” from the menu.
Make sure that all three options on top (connections, interactions and user
data) are set to “allow” or “custom.”
Press the menu button and select “save.”
Launch CWT To Go and access the “connection setup” screen:
Menu > Settings > Connection.
Select “automatically configure connection,” and the application will detect
your connection.
Please follow the recommended options.
If the automatic detection fails, please choose “manual configuration,” and
select your carrier from the list.
If your carrier is not in the list, you will need to add a new operator
manually. Please contact your carrier, and request the following settings
details: APN address, port number and IP address.
Q. I downloaded CWT To Go, but the icon is missing from my home
screen. How can I make the icon visible?
A. For the icon to be visible, please ensure the device is set properly:
Make sure the icon is present in either the "applications" or "downloads" folder
from the home screen. On version 5.0 software and above, the app should reside
on the home screen.
Select the “show all” option in the BlackBerry home screen.
Troubleshooting for iOS-specific features
Q. Why doesn’t CWT To Go recognize my current location?
A. On iOS devices (iPhone/iPad), there are three requirements for CWT To Go to be able
to identify your current location:
The location service on your device has to be on.
Home screen > Settings > Location Services > (Location Services).
The CWT To Go app on your device has to be allowed access to the location
service.
Home Screen > Settings > Location Services > (CWT To Go).
Your device must be connected to the Internet.
Home Screen > Settings > General > Network > (Enable either Wi-Fi or
cellular data).
