Is Booking Your Own Travel Becoming a Full-time Job?

Are You Wearing Too Many Hats?

Trying to Do More With Less?

For companies that have very few travelers, who have the time, patience and flexible travel plans and who make very few changes and/or cancellations, booking online may still be an option. However, as most business travelers can attest to, ever-occurring changes, last-minute needs, and "I needed it yesterday" are words that define the very nature of business travel.

What About Managing Your Bottom Line?

What happens when a traveler finds a fare on the Internet with the airline they earn frequent flyer miles with, but another airline has a fare for $200 less? Which do they choose? Who is there is make sure each booking is the best option and compliant with your travel policy?

You could have an administration person book all travel to maintain some element of control, however this can become a full-time job and it's likely that paying their salary would cost more than paying us for each transaction...and this does not even factor in agent expertise, management reporting, tracking of unused tickets, waivers & favors that save hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars per ticket, just to name a few of the services we provide for the fees you are paying.

 We have access to the channels - online and offline - and can do the shopping or purchasing for you!
