| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GBTG, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities controlled by GBTG. The Company reports the non-controlling ownership interests in subsidiaries that are held by third-party owners as equity attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated balance sheets. The portion of income or loss attributable to third-party owners for the reporting period is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has eliminated intercompany transactions and balances in its consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. As such, certain notes or other information that are normally required by GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2026 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company has included all normal recurring items and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, supplier revenue, allowance for credit losses, depreciable lives of property and equipment, purchase price allocations for business acquisitions including valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and contingent consideration, valuation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets, capitalized client incentives and investments in equity method investments, valuation allowances on deferred income taxes, valuation of pensions, interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps, earnout shares and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

| Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted and Not Yet Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted The Company has yet to adopt the following accounting standard updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB").
|
| Internal-Use Software | Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software," which applies to costs incurred to develop or obtain software for internal use. The ASU amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will commence capitalizing eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.

| Disaggregated Expenses | Disaggregated Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which provides guidance on additional disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The update is to be applied on a prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. While the update will require additional disclosures related to the Company’s expenses, it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
