Five reasons why you should outsource your travel requirements to an experienced management company

We caught up with Winged Boots, personalised travel management agency, to pick the teamโ€™s brains on why outsourcing your travel requirements is actually cheaper than booking online

Organising travel is a lot like cookingโ€ฆ we can all do it, but few can do it well. It takes practise to perfect; mistakes are easily made, and one wrong move can totally mess up the final result. So why do we struggle at our desks when there are professionals ready to assist? Experts who know their way around extra baggage charts, can spout off all the lingo and airport codes without a breath, and โ€“ most importantly โ€“ can work with you to create a flawless itinerary your boss is going to love.

But all this expert knowledge has to come at a price, right? Actually, youโ€™re wrong. Professional travel management agencies have access to preferential fares, competitive pricing and direct contracts with leading airlines and hotel chains so your stress-free planning can actually save you money as well as time; the most precious commodity of all.ย 

Discover more reasons why you should consider outsourcing your corporate travel requirements toย Winged Boots, a personalised travel management agency, below:

  1. It can save you time (and money)

Why spend hours trawling price comparison sites when Winged Bootsโ€™ personal travel managers (who all hold a minimum of six-yearsโ€™ experience) have all the tools and knowledge to offer you the best deal, and fast? Whatโ€™s more, Winged Boots has spent years building trusted relationships with the worldโ€™s leading travel suppliers across hotels, airlines, car rentals and transfers, and has access to preferential fares and rates so youโ€™re likely to receive a price that you wouldnโ€™t have access to on a price comparison website.

2. You can hold flights without financial commitment

With Winged Boots you can hold flight seats without financial commitment up until five-weeks before travel and cancel without incurring any fees*.

5. Youโ€™re still in control

Just because youโ€™re outsourcing your travel needs to an experienced personal travel manager doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re any less in the driving seat.
