It's Here - Change Your Flight Online While Your Trip is In Progress and Other Goodies
As unveiled in last week's post, we are thrilled to deliver on two popular requests from Egencia travelers:
1. Change a Ticket Online For Your Trip In Progress
Being able to change your ticket online from the road allows you to easily adjust to the changing nature of business travel. Let's say you are in San Francisco meeting with a client and realize that you need to spend an extra day. You can quickly go online with Egencia and push out your flight home by one day. You saved time and your company saved on agent assisted fees. It's a win win for everyone.
You can change your ticket online up to two hours before departure time. We integrated with all airline carriers that allow this option. Check out the full list of supported carriers and step by step instructions in this one page overview on en route online exchanges(PDF) or this video.
2. Find the Right Flight Faster with Handy Filters
When travelers were requesting flight search filters that were already in place we knew that we needed a new flight search results interface to help you find them more easily. We've revamped your flight search results layout to help you quickly identify:
- the number of tickets left on a nearly full flight (this one is new)
- an overview of airline carriers and available prices
- the cheapest time of day to fly
- if an alternate airport makes sense
Watch the new flight search video.
Let us know what you think of these new tools.
