## Audience #1 - Flight Departure in next 2 weeks

First we'll be creating an audience that contains all customers that have a flight in the next 2 weeks.

1. Click on **Create audience**. A pop-up will open, choose `Build rule` and click **Create**. You'll be taken to the **Audience builder**.
2. Set the **name** to `[your name] - Flight Departure in next 2 weeks`.
3. Set the **evaluation method** to `edge`.
4. In the **Events** tab, search for `flight`. In the bottom a predefined event will appear. Drag the `Booking` event to the middle of the screen.
5. Click on the Booking-event in the middle section to open the Event Rules. 
6. In the left menu,  navigate to **XDM ExperienceEvent > Reservations > Flight Reservations** and drag the field `Departure Date` to the event Rules.
7. Set the expression for **Departure Date** to `In next 2 weeks`.
8. Your screen should look like the image below. Click **Publish** to finish your audience.
