BCD Travel

Our recent BCD Travel survey examining corporate air travel finds that flexibility and convenience are kings when it comes to booking flights. Of the 1,319 business travelers we surveyed, more than half pay for checked luggage, with seat selection and carry-on luggage coming close behind. When it comes to cancelations and exchanges, half of travelers typically purchase fully or partially refundable tickets. This offers more flexibility when faced with travel disruptions or changed plans. Find out more about how these behaviors underline the importance of simplifying business travel.

🏆Together with our customer, Transamerica, we recently received the Innovation in Supplier Performance award from Sourcing Industry Group (SIG|ORG)! SIG’s supplier performance category focuses on innovative systems that monitor, manage, control and influence a supplier’s ability to meet business needs and goals effectively. We received this joint award in recognition of our efforts to navigate Travel Management Company Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in the wake of the pandemic. The recovery plan we put in place involved hiring additional personnel to augment the consultant team and implementing service center enhancements that would reduce agent handling time. Together, we’ve set a new standard for managing partnerships and ensuring seamless collaboration. We’re looking forward to many more years of successful partnership! #Partnership #BCDTravel #TravelSmartAchieveMore
