𝗗𝗼𝗻´𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 At GlobeAir we are convinced it is not worth to book a business class ticket on a commercial flight for any #businesstravel. Watch here the three main reasons for that and why #privatejetcharter is a much better option. Learn about the benefits of #businessaviation. Feel free to share your thoughts with my #GlobeAir #DreamTeam.

The value of Fly[XYZ].com domain names Renowned and Concise:  Fly[XYZ].com domain names like FlyMIA.com, FlyDSM.com, and FlyATW.com are already widely accepted in the aviation industry. These domains are concise and memorable, making them perfect for local #customers and international #travelers alike. Memorability: These domain names are short and easy to remember, ensuring that users can #easy recall and access them effortlessly. This is particularly beneficial for enhanced customer engagement, #cx and #loyalty. Direct Access: Fly[XYZ].com domains can be directly typed into the address bar of any device without the need for a search engine. This ease of access reduces the risk of users getting lost in search results or ending up on unofficial websites. Forwarding Capability: These domains can be easily forwarded to existing websites that might currently operate on less memorable or cumbersome domain names. This means no need for expensive rebranding or a complete website overhaul. Strategic Digital Assets: Fly[XYZ].com domains are strategic digital assets that simplify online accessibility. They enhance online customer engagement by providing a straightforward and memorable path to your airport's digital presence. "Simplified access to a(ny) website, amplifies online customer engagement!" e.g. FlyMIA.com (official) #FlyMIA

That's a wrap - the UATP 2024 Airline Distribution conference in Vienna, Austria is over - and it is time to reflect on some of the key messages delivered during the 2 1/2 days of knowledge sharing, presenting and intense networking while talking about almost anything related to distribution and payment I truly enjoyed the many conversations with airline and payment experts from a wide range of airlines and fintech companies around the world - some of them we already work closely with here at Spotnana, and some of them we are only just starting conversations about how our #cloudnative #travelasaservice platform can enable digital innovation using a number of different approaches My personal highlight was no doubt being part of the panel called "NDC - what it is all about ?" along with Roman Brauner MBA, GTP (Sabre Corporation), Eric Dumas (TPConnects Technologies), George Bryan (Hawaiian Airlines), Mario Maier (Lufthansa Group) and Brian Clark (Hudson Crossing) expertly moderated by Ian Luck (T2RL) A big thank you to Wendy Ward, Ralph Kaiser and the entire UATP team for inviting us, and for putting a great conference program and venue together It was very refreshing to be on a panel where everyone agreed 100% that NDC is here to stay, and while it might have experienced a slow start it looks like 2024 will be the year where NDC really takes off across the wider travel industry (as Mario stated so elegant at the end) Obviously there are still many obstacles and challenges to solve, but it does feel like we finally can stop discussing "if NDC will happen" and focus more on how we improve the solution rapidly and start introducing true innovation without the shackles of the past Perhaps fittingly, I was watching the 3rd launch of SpaceX Starship rocket live as I was writing this post, and they did never even consider to stop the program after the 2 first failed launches - in fact they viewed the 2 failed launches as incredible important learning about what not to do - perhaps that is how we should view the first 10 years of NDC and the lack of success in the travel industry 😀 let's use 2024 as the year of the 3rd launch of NDC and get it right this time #openinnovation #travelmicroservices #traveltopia #allinatrip #timeforgreentravel #unbundlingtravel

As I pack my bags for Atlanta, the next of 30 or so GBTA conventions I've attended through my career, I can't help but reflect on the journey our industry has taken. The resilience of our industry to weather change is astounding. COVID-19 had a monumental impact on travel, reshaping it and reframing it in so many ways. Yet with the rebound we're experiencing today, we've proven our adaptability once again. Then I think about NDC. It's been touted as a game-changer. Has it truly transformed our industry as much as predicted considering the resources invested? Perhaps. We have yet to realize its true impact. Stability is so important as it helps us keep our eye on the ball. But consolidation continues, and buckle your seatbelts, because I'm sure it's not done. With so many mergers, acquisitions, and name changes, it seems like the one constant in the travel industry is change. What truly matters? It's still service. In our tech-driven world, the human touch remains irreplaceable. AI is not just coming. It's here, and it promises to fundamentally change travel. I believe the winners will be those who harness AI to enhance service and make traveler experiences better. As we converge on Atlanta, I'm reminded why I love this industry. It's not just about destinations; it's about the journeys we take together, the challenges we overcome, and the innovations we create. Once travel gets in your blood, it's there to stay. Our industry thrives on true connections and relationships. GBTA is a testament to the power of coming together - the excitement of reconnecting with colleagues from around the globe. Over 30 GBTAs later, that excitement never fades. I'm looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces next week. Look for me at Fox World Travel booth 3711. Let's make #GBTA2024 another one for the books!
