Implementing best practices...
Airport Mapping
We do the geographical research of nearby airports on both your inbound and outbound. You decide whether the savings of traveling into/out of a different airport is worth it.
Viewing different dates
We present alternative options. Traveling on a different month, week or even a different day can save you money.
Carrier price matching
When airlines fly the same route passengers can take advantage! Competition paves the way for revenue-management negotiation.
Calendaring reservations
Lower rates are typically obtained by securing seats the day airline itineraries are released. Securing a reservation early, ensures everyone on the team fly on the same itinerary. Having to split teams into different flights complicates ground transportation logistics.
Monitoring price drops
There are windows of time during the reservation timeline where airlines often drop prices to fill their planes. Whenever a price drop occurs, it might be possible to reduce existing group reservation rates.
STPC
Stopover Paid by Carrier is a little known perk that international airlines offer for overnight layovers on global routes. We will submit an application on your behalf. If approved you won't pay airport-hotel accommodations.
Tour Conductor
Some airlines will give a group a free ticket on high count reservations. Certain rules apply.
Linking Separate Contracts
Sometimes it makes financial sense to make two different airline reservations. We use one airline to fly into an international hub, in the USA, then use another airline for the "over-the-water" segment. A safe amount of connection time is factored into making this decision.
Utilization check
Typically a group reservation can be reduced up until 90 days before departure. During this time we research for newly released itineraries published from other airlines
