2. Automation built-in: Whether it’s booking an overnight hotel or arranging ground transport, our system automatically selects the best options based on airline-set rules and real-time measures, such as availability, airport proximity and rates.

3. Real-time updates & tracking: Passenger confirmations contain all the tracking info they require to stay informed. Meanwhile, airline staff can see the status of entire jobs and offer additional support where required.
