Group air travel presents a difficult challenge to a meeting planner's efforts to plan and control the costs of any meeting. The published fares are often limited in availability, are instant purchase and non-refundable and often require a Saturday night stay, which limits their usefulness to group air travel. This is the one element of a program where costs will change daily, service, or the lack thereof, is an industry standard, and delays and lost baggage are routine. Group air travel can be the meeting planner's nightmare.

Contacts Unlimited, Inc.'s Air Operations has, since 1976, delivered a high level of expertise to group meeting and incentive planners and resolves many of the current air issues related to group air travel. Given our years of airline negotiating experience, we are able to deliver a unique combination of meeting and incentive airfares for the meeting planners. In addition, we offer access to low group airfares, complementary online reservation site created specifically for your group, and group air travel management expertise.

Major U.S. companies use Contacts Unlimited, Inc.'s Air Operations for the group air travel portion of their programs. They do so in spite of the fact that most have in-house travel departments, corporate airline agreements, and/or internal corporate travel policies. Although these fixed corporate agreements and policies lend themselves to both cost savings and excellent control of day-to-day business travel expenditures, they are often both inefficient and ineffective when used to manage group airfares. Call us to check our group travel rates the next time you are pricing an air program.
