Welcome to Premium Travel...

Flying in a premium cabin has never been so easy and as cost effective as it is today. Consolidated business class tickets are often as much as an airline's full fare economy ticket. With the added value of 'Inclusive Tour Fares' which include accommodation and or car hire, flying business class or 'premium economy' is no longer an unrealistic and over-priced option.
 
And if you are a corporate client find out how we could be saving you thousands of pounds on your premium travel.

Press Release -
London, 4th August, 2005

Award winning travel company The Travel Expert announced today that in the past six months almost 900 companies had sought its help in slashing corporate travel costs. The Travel Expert, which is the largest UK flight retailer, has huge buying power with airlines and hotel groups and claims that in most cases it can help a company make considerable savings to its travel spending.

The £200 million turnover company was this year listed in the Sunday Times top 100 survey of the country's most successful independent companies for the third year running and was the only travel company to be featured.

A company spokesman said: 'We have noticed a huge surge in companies looking hard at their costs since the beginning of the current downturn. Some had actually been buying their travel quite well but others have managed to save themselves thousands of pounds simply by changing the way they buy'.

The company uses a different business model to the traditional business travel agency which normally offers a month's credit or payment by the 15th of the month. In this case travel is paid for as it is booked, usually with a company credit card or Amex card and this enables big discounts to be made on the flights, hotels and cars that are booked.

'The biggest hurdle is persuading the companies to move away from their traditional credit system,' said the spokesman. 'But usually when they understand how much they can save then they bite the bullet and after that they never look back'.

'A company which came to us recently was spending about a million pounds a year but was reluctant to give up their current way of working until we explained to them that they could save themselves between £40,000 and £70,000 annually. The most they could have expected to earn under their credit arrangements was less than £4000!'

With 15 million fares on our system we couldn't possibly list all of them. Here are just a few examples of these 'Inclusive Tour Fares' and other premium cabin options and the applicable savings. Just call our reservations staff for more information.
