I recently had the opportunity to discuss the transformative journey of travel insurance in the digital age with Peter Altmann from Amadeus. Reflecting on our conversation, I'm inspired by the possibilities that lie at the intersection of insurance and technology. I’ve always believed in the power of partnership and innovation to drive progress. Our collaboration with Amadeus, one of the world's leading travel technology companies, stands as a testament to this belief. Together, we're not just offering travel insurance products; we're reimagining what travel protection means in a world that's increasingly digital.

🌍✈️ What are codeshare flights and why do they matter for your travel plans? ✈️🌍 At Go Travel, we know that navigating the world of airline bookings can be complex. That’s why we want to shed some light on codeshare flights and how they can benefit you. What are codeshare flights? Codeshare flights are agreements between airlines that allow them to sell seats on each other's flights. This partnership expands their destinations without adding new routes or sharing revenue from tickets sold. Why should you care? 1. Seamless Connections: Enjoy smoother transfers, particularly between non-alliance partner airlines, without the hassle of booking separate tickets and managing baggage independently. 2. Cost Savings: Codeshare flights can offer cheaper fare options. For example, AARP members can save on British Airways-marketed flights operated by partner airlines. 3. Mileage and Status Earnings: You can earn more miles and status credits depending on the marketing airline. Sometimes, booking codeshares can be more advantageous than flying with the operating airline. Challenges to Consider: ➡️ Complex Rules: Earning miles and status vary by marketing and operating airlines, fare class, and program specifics. ➡️ Upgrade Limitations: Codeshares may limit the ability to upgrade flights using miles or enjoy full elite status benefits like complimentary upgrades and preferred seating. 🔸Booking tips ➡️ Maximize Earnings: Booking codeshares can sometimes yield more miles and status credits. For instance, a round-trip flight marketed by British Airways but credited to American Airlines might earn more miles based on distance flown rather than price. ➡️ Avoid Codeshares for Upgrades: Book flights marketed and operated by the same airline for upgrades. Bottom Line: Codeshare flights enhance travel flexibility, convenience, and potential savings, but understanding the specific rules for mileage and benefits is key to maximizing your travel experience.

Great news for Acendas Travel clients and other TMC users. American Airlines has made a significant change to the AAdvantage mileage accrual policy. Originally, there was a plan to differentiate mileage earnings based on booking channels beginning July 11. However, in response to feedback from travel management companies (TMCs), corporate customers, and travelers, American Airlines has decided to lift this restriction. Effective immediately, all travelers will earn AAdvantage miles regardless of where they make their booking, including through Acendas Travel. This means that no matter the booking channel you choose, you can continue to accumulate miles towards your AAdvantage account. #Travel #AcendasTravel #TMC #TravelManagementCompany #AmericanAirlines #TravelManagement

Using Loss Leader Pricing in Travel Agencies In today’s competitive travel industry, standing out requires smart strategies. One effective approach is Loss Leader Pricing – offering a product at a loss to attract customers and drive future sales. Here’s how it can be applied in a travel agency: Discounted Flights or Hotels: Offer a low-cost flight or hotel to capture attention, then upsell profitable services like tours, insurance, or premium packages. Local Tours: Promote a popular tour at a discount, and bundle it with high-margin add-ons like exclusive transport or VIP experiences. Holiday Packages: Offer steep discounts on full vacation packages, but increase revenue through extras like travel insurance or special excursions. The goal isn’t just to offer discounts – it’s about attracting customers and increasing profit through additional services. #TravelBusiness #PricingStrategy #CustomerAcquisition #LossLeader #Marketing

Many financial advisors have clients who have embraced cruise travel. Cruises can be all inclusive, but there are hidden costs. One of them is getting to and from your ship, even if it within driving distance from home. If your client talks about their next cruise, this is another way you can add value. #financialplanning #financialadvisor #financialadvice #financialadvisors #financialconsultant #financialadvisory #insurance #insuranceagent #insurancebroker #insuranceindustry   https://lnkd.in/ehwEjMGA

I literally breathe a sigh of relief every time a client makes it to the airport, boards their flight, and is officially on the way. But what happens if you do miss your flight? 1️⃣ First, if you’re headed to the airport and you’re pretty sure you won’t make your flight, contact the airline en route to let them know. They may even be able to start making arrangements for a new flight. 2️⃣ When you arrive, make a beeline for the airline’s customer service desk — they’re your best allies for getting booked onto another flight. 3️⃣ Get in touch with your travel advisor (Hey hey, that’s me!) so I can re-arrange your airport transfers and call the hotel to let them know you’re arriving later so you don’t risk getting bumped in an overbooking situation, or getting stuck with the worst room. When travel plans hang in the balance, it’s a must to have support and someone to help smooth things over. #traveladvisor 1000 Mile Travel Group Virtuoso Travel
