How to Change Your Travel Distance

By Eugene Bojé, Founder of Airlocum

Your travel distance setting controls how far from your home location Airlocum will show you shifts — and how far practices can find you in search results. The wider your radius, the more booking requests you will receive.

Step

What to do

1

Open your profile

Go to your Airlocum profile and navigate to Professional Details.

2

Find the distance field

Look for the Distance willing to travel (miles) field in the Professional Details section.

3

Enter your distance

Type your preferred travel radius in miles.

4

Save

Tap Save. Your new distance takes effect immediately — practices within your updated radius can find you right away.

💡 Not receiving enough booking requests?

Increasing your travel distance is the fastest way to expand the number of practices you appear for in search results.

Even a modest increase — from 10 miles to 20, for example — can significantly increase your booking request volume depending on your location.

You can update your distance as often as you like.
