Flight and hotel choices directly affect the efficiency of a business trip. An option that looks cheaper may become more expensive when transfer time, inconvenient schedules or restrictive conditions are considered.
Look beyond the ticket price
Very early or late flights can create extra hotel nights, transfer costs or lost productive time.
Measure the value of direct flights
A connecting itinerary may cost less, but additional time and missed-connection risk can be significant for business travellers.
Hotel location is part of the itinerary
Staying close to the office, exhibition or meeting venue reduces daily transfer time and makes the schedule more predictable.
Review cancellation and change conditions
Flexible bookings can protect total trip cost when business plans change.
Record traveller preferences
Seat, room and loyalty preferences help shorten booking time and improve the travel experience for frequent travellers.
