What is STLP?
STLP β Same Time Last Period β allows you to compare your current booking position against where you stood at the equivalent point last year or other periods such as last month, 2 years ago etc
For example, if today is 2 June 2026, STLP for a December 2026 stay date would show you what your On-The-Books (OTB) position was on 2 June 2025 for December 2025.
How FLYR calculates STLP
FLYR uses the **creation date** and **update date** of each booking to reconstruct your historic OTB position.
Specifically, it asks: "Which bookings existed on this same calendar date last year, for a stay in the equivalent future period?"
This means: - A booking created after the STLP reference date will not appear in that STLP snapshot - A booking that was cancelled before the STLP reference date will not appear either - Amendments to a booking (e.g. date changes) are reflected based on the update timestamp
Why might STLP show zero or look incorrect / seem to be a discrepancy in this data?
The most common reason is data migrated into Flyr either through a PMS <-> PMS migration (both having been connected to us and we transfer from one to another) or a more traditional export of historical data where the previous pms was not connected.
This will mean that you will have previous period actuals but NOT STLP.
FLYR can only reconstruct your historic STLP from the moment it started receiving booking data from your PMS and at the booking level data NOT a historical upload of data.
Using the Pick-up Topic in FLYR
If you want to investigate a specific booking's update history, you can use the **Pick-up Topic** view in FLYR to see which booking changes FLYR has recorded and when.
This is useful for auditing whether amendment timestamps are flowing through correctly from your PMS. **If your STLP still looks wrong** Share a specific example with FLYR Support: the property name, the stay date, and the STLP date you are querying. Screenshots with actual values help us investigate quickly.
