Egencia has added global Wi-Fi access to its Egencia Advantage offering, claiming that it is the first global TMC to do so.
Egencia Advantage brings business travellers Wi-Fi from more than 300 mobile carriers and Internet Service Providers, and coverage in more than 120 countries, a more secure option compared to free airport or public hotspot offerings. Companies and their employees can purchase pocket Wi-Fi devices and discounted access through the Egencia Advantage programme, available to all Egencia customers.
Currently, Egencia Advantage’s portfolio of services includes parking, visa processing services, travel risk management assistance, air delay claim compensation and airport lounge access.
Being able to keep up with work duties is a top priority for most business travellers, according to a 2018 Egencia business traveller survey. Staying connected to family while on the road is also a priority, whether by frequent texts or Facetime.
“Traveller satisfaction goes beyond the number of stars on the hotel and the class of air travel: travellers need ways to stay connected and productive throughout their journey,” said Andrew Dyer, vice president, global supply-lodging at Egencia.
Egencia Advantage will continue to add services as relationships develop.
