THE BOOKING PROCESS: HOW IT WORKS
AMTRAV'S FLIGHT ONLINE BOOKING TOOL
How does AmTrav compare?
AmTrav
The most innovative corporate travel shopping tool
Setup?
Very easy! An AmTrav Relationship Manager will help you load all your negotiated rates, program your policies and approval flows, then train your travel managers and business travelers so they can happily book on their own.
Happy travelers?
Yes! Business travel bookers and travelers book confidently knowing that travel policy, approvals, discounts and unused tickets are applied, plus they can see and filter for flights that best meet their needs in a fast, modern online booking tool.
Happy administrators?
Very happy! Bookers and business travelers book within policy, with the company's discounts, approvals and unused tickets applied, then bookings flow automatically into spend reports and global business travel tracking -- AND bookers and travelers aren't always complaining about the online booking tool to the administrator!
Other TMCs
Forcing today's bookers to use yesterday's tools
Setup?
Hard. Onboarding can take months and must be done with both the TMC and the booking tool (because they're two separate companies and systems), making sure that the corporate travel policies, approvals and discounts are all programmed correctly -- twice!
Happy travelers?
Not at all! Slow, antiquated booking tools frustrate bookers and travelers, because the booking tool is so slow bookers often research flight options on Google Flights and airline websites before returning to book in the booking tool -- or having to call the TMC if they want to use an unused ticket.
Happy administrators?
Sometimes. Travel policy is applied, bookings eventually flow over to reporting and business travel tracking -- but those bookers and travelers sure dislike the booking tool and they book outside it every chance they get!
AmTrav
Consumer-grade booking process with the corporate travel control you need
Setup?
Very easy! An AmTrav Relationship Manager will help you load all your negotiated rates, program your business travel policies and approval flows, then train your bookers and travelers so they can happily book their business trip on their own.
Happy travelers?
Yes! Travel managers and business travelers book trips confidently knowing that travel policy, approvals and discounts are applied, while also seeing and filtering for flights that best meet their needs in a fast, modern, online booking tool.
Happy administrators?
Yes! Bookers and travelers book within corporate travel policy, with the company's discounts applied and automatic approvals, business trip bookings flow automatically into spend reports and traveler tracking, and money is saved with one-click unused ticket application.
DIY travel
Consumer-grade travel management experience, but no controls or tracking
Setup?
Very easy! Bookers and travelers book business trips wherever they want! Maybe the administrator can even write a corporate travel policy for bookers to interpret and apply on their own.
Happy business travelers?
Yes and no. Travelers can shop and book with their favorite sites, though they have to interpret policy and apply unused tickets themselves, then remember to forward their itineraries to admins for tracking and reporting.
Happy administrators?
No! DIY is a lot of work for the administrator: there's no way to enforce policy and approvals, the administrator has to manually collect business travel itineraries for spend reporting and traveler tracking, and there's no visibility into unused tickets balances or savings.

You have Questions, we have Answers
-
Should I have travelers book for themselves or have dedicated travel managers book for travelers?
Either way works great. Depending on their needs some AmTrav clients have travelers book their own business trip, some have dedicated bookers, some use a mix. Thanks to travel management controls like travel policy, approvals and user profiles you can trust your travelers to book themselves without extensive training or oversight. Other companies with lots of guest travelers (contractors, interviewees) or executives have specific bookers ("coordinators" in AmTrav lingo) who can easily book for others. Book for others is a key feature for AmTrav, unlike competing booking tools, AmTrav always applies the correct policy, profile and corporate travel loyalty accounts for the corresponding traveler, and bookers can even switch traveler mid-booking if they need to.
-
Shouldn’t I check around to see if I can find a lower fare?
At AmTrav, we drive your productivity: less time and stress on travel, more time and focus on your job. That's why we continually invest in our corporate travel management to pull in every flight and every fare, plus information like amenities and the ability to book seats and extras -- all so you can save time checking around for a lower fare. Plus we have guarantees from the biggest airlines that we're getting their lowest fares, and some even give us discounted fares to share with you. So yes, you're free to check around or check your favorite site, but we have the flights and fares. (We do select just the best itineraries for you, but if you filter for specific times or airlines you can see additional itineraries -- they're there!)
-
Can bookers see the whole cost of a ticket before booking trips?
Yes! AmTrav goes to great lengths to show the full cost of a ticket, putting as much information as possible on the flight results page so bookers can compare options with full visibility into the features that they want. Fares and taxes are shown, plus first and second checked bag fees, carryon bag fees and change fees, and bookers can preview the seat map to see free and premium seats (with prices for the premium seats).
-
Why does AmTrav always show Basic Economy, Business and First when my travelers only fly Economy?
Studies show that shoppers feel more confident in their choices if they see not just what they're getting, but also higher- and lower-priced options. Thus AmTrav shows several fares for each flight, arranged consistently for easy comparison: Basic Economy on the far left, then Economy, continuing to Business and super-premium. So your business travel policy can remove the Basic Economy options and flag those premium options as out of policy, but AmTrav shoppers make faster, more confident decisions because they can see all the fare options.
