What can Corporate Traveller do for you?
How we helped travellers....
Avoid costly changes
Plans change, it happens all the time. But it can be costly. Take this president of a consultancy firm, who wanted to change a British Airways flight from a Monday to a Sunday night. The airline wanted to charge nearly £6k to rebook, the cost of the initial ticket. The president rang Corporate Traveller to check their options, and we were able to get BA to agree to a £300 cancellation charge. What a saving!
Skip long wait times
When there’s delays, you’re one of hundreds calling or queuing waiting for an airline to get a new flight booked. When the director at a financial company needed to change his KLM flight, he rang Corporate Traveller and was rebooked in minutes. That's vs others who queued for another 40 minutes. "You really saved me that additional stress!” the director told us.
Handling the loooong search
How long do you spend searching travel options? An EA to a large food & beverage company said it takes them half a day to search for flights alone. By using Corporate Traveller, an expert travel consultant can take all of that off your hands. Think of all the time you’d get back! "I am very grateful for the number of times you have saved our company money by checking every possible journey in the system, in record time as well!” they added.
