Frequently asked questions about our business travel agency

What makes Corporate Traveller different to other corporate travel agents, like Travelperk, Egencia, TripActions, CWT and Navan?
Firstly, it’s our combination of personal service and intuitive technology. Slick technology is important, and we have that, but in our experience, we often find travellers still want a human to talk to when a trip is complicated, there’s an emergency, or they have a change. And not only will we pick up within 30 seconds, but our Expert Travel Consultants have the travel expertise and will know your company’s preferences, so it’s really personal.
Secondly, it’s our dedication to the UK SME and start-up market. That focus has allowed us to develop services and tools built for companies just like yours, where others might focus on large enterprise organisations.
Thirdly, it’s our unrivalled access to a choice of flights, hotels, rail, car rental and more. As part of Flight Centre Travel Group we have the negotiating power to source exclusive deals and perks for you; we can even organise ones specifically for your company if the volume allows.
What are the benefits of booking corporate flights with Corporate Traveller?
There are many, including:
A travel expert takes on all the planning and searching for you, even the really complicated trips.
You’ll save money, as we’ve got the best range of flight options and deals. This is thanks to being part of Flight Centre Travel Group, one of the largest travel companies in the world.
Want to book yourself? Melon is easy to use, and has loads of fare choices based on personal and company preferences.
If your plans change, simply call your travel consultant and they’ll get it sorted.

Booking through one company means you can save even more, once we understand your company’s booking habits and top airlines.
What are the benefits of booking with an expert travel consultant over Melon?

-Easily change your flight plans.

What support does Corporate Traveller offer in an emergency?
Our expert travel consultants are always a call away. Any time, any day. Travellers can ring the number in their itinerary email to get through to the team. There is also a chat option available through Melon on desktop or the mobile app.
Do we continue to collect all our airmiles when booking through Corporate Traveller?
Yes, travellers can store their loyalty member details in their travel profile, so they can still earn and use miles on bookings. This information can be given to the travel consultant, and be stored on our Melon platform.
Does the business collect air miles still?
Yes, any bookings made through Corporate Traveller can accumulate points. Make sure your team has your details!
Do you book lounge access, fast track lanes, transfers…… everything?
Absolutely yes! You might find some airfares already include some of these extras. But if not, you can add them on at any time – from lounge access to fast-track security, transfers, airport parking, Wi-Fi...whatever you need.
Do you have a mobile app keeping me up to date on everything at every step of the way?
Yes, the Melon app is easy to use and replicates the desktop experience of the platform.
Companies can choose to not use the mobile app; you will need to ask the contract owner if it is available.
