Creating Flights

Flights are ads scheduled to run during a campaign, with start and end dates during a specified period of time during the campaign. Flights allow running ad variations automatically at these specific times. If you have multiple flights, the next flight's start date is after the previous flight's end date.

You add flights to a line item in the campaign's media plan.

If you are using ad serving, a single tag is applied to the line item. The same tag copies to the next flights. The Ad Serving link displays under the last flight of the line item. You export the tag to the ad server. The ad server follows the flight dates of the placement.
