Travel management company Carlson Wagonlit Travel has expanded its mobile air booking offering in 20 key markets around the globe, where travellers now have the option of booking their flights on the myCWT app.
Originally piloted in early 2017 and launched commercially in 2Q2018, the mobile air booking has been rolled out to the US, Germany, France, the UK, Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Australia, Poland, Brazil, Denmark, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
The app’s booking capability has a set of innovative features, including a “best time to book” indicator, which alerts travelers when prices are expected to increase, and recommends an optimal time to book.
Meanwhile, a 24-hour search function gives travellers a complete list of options, including cheaper flights outside a specified window, simplifying the booking experience as well as saving costs for employers.
The app currently features check-in functionality for most major airlines, as well as notifications for flight delays, cancellations, gate changes, and safety and security travel alerts.
It also offers mobile hotel bookings for 850,000 hotels worldwide, calendar synching, traveller profile integration with loyalty programs, and advanced sharing functionality. CWT’s mobile air booking also supports global distribution system and low-cost carrier content, as well as client rates and preferred airlines.
