BUSINESS TRAVEL TIPS
BOOK DIRECT FLIGHTS WHENEVER POSSIBLE
By taking direct flights when you can, cuts down on your travel time. This saves you long lay overs in airports on connecting flights, reduces your chance of lost luggage, and makes it possible to avoid overnight stays, which will save on potential hotel, car, and meal expenses.
CHECK IN ON LINE
As airlines continue to cut staff, check-in lines at the airport will only continue to get worse. You can check-in for your flight 24 hours ahead of time and print your boarding passes. When checking bags check curb side and go directly to security. This will save you time at the airport.
ALWAYS RECONFIRM YOUR FLIGHTS
We recommend that you reconfirm your flights at least 3 days prior to your travel dates. Airlines do schedule changes on flights, which can result in a time change or flight number change. By reconfirming, you are sure to have all correct information when you head to the airport and won't run the risk of missing your flight.
