The cheapest fare and the most flexible fare are rarely the same ticket. For business travel, picking the wrong one can cost more than the price difference ever suggested.
Estimate the real cost of a schedule change
If a meeting is even moderately likely to shift, price in what a change fee or fare difference would cost against the savings of a restrictive ticket.
Not every trip needs the flexible option
For trips with a fixed, unlikely-to-change schedule, the cheaper restrictive fare is usually the smarter buy — flexibility has a real premium attached.
Corporate accounts often unlock better terms
If your team books travel regularly, ask about corporate rates or accounts — the terms are often better than what's available booking one trip at a time.
Our travel partners can help set up recurring business travel arrangements — reach out if your team books more than occasionally.
