Business Class for Less

With today’s current economy, we are often asked how companies can reduce travel costs while still being able to travel in business or first class – especially when travelling internationally. Well, here are a couple of ideas:

• Purchase Coach And Use Personal Miles For Business Class
When traveling internationally personal frequent flier points can be used for upgrading as opposed to purchasing retail business or first class tickets. This will be a tremendous savings to the company.
• Utilize Business Class Tickets From A Wholesaler
Travel Management Companies such as Safe Harbors have access to discounted or wholesale business class tickets. These tickets are typically restricted with very few opportunities to make changes but the savings can be as high as 50% per ticket.

Strategies such as these have always been around but there isn’t a better time than now to save money and arrive at your destination ready to conduct business.

I hope these tips help and as always, we thank you for your business!
