Case Studies
We can not, obviously, give details of our clients’ actual travel but the following is a typical example of how we approach airfares.
Our speciality is manipulating the airfares (and other forms of travel) mainly for consultants who travel a great deal, in order to obtain cost savings whilst offering the flexibility which most of these people desire. We do this in a variety of ways, the main one being to look at their travel itineraries over a year ahead and advising how combining two or more trips on the same air ticket can make very real savings.
Example 1: (quotes are exclusive of tax)
For the journey London/Rome/London followed by London/San Francisco/London and London/Madrid/London
Normal calculation:-
London/Rome/London – economy class (restricted) – around £200
London/San Francisco/London (sponsored) – business class, short stay – around £4500
London/Madrid/London – economy class (restricted) – around £200
Total bill £4900.
Our calculation:-
London/Rome one way economy class restricted – around £100
Rome/London/San Francisco/London/Madrid – business class flexible – around £2500
Madrid/London one way economy class restricted – around £100
Total bill £2700 with travel in business class for part of the European journey – for far less money.
Example 2:
London/Istanbul/London followed by London/Tokyo/London and potential future European trip not yet decided.
Normal calculation:-
London/Istanbul/London - economy class ( restricted) - around £220.00
London/Tokyo/ London - business class, flexible, short stay - around £5300.00
Total cost : £5560.00
Our calculation:-
London / Istanbul one way economy class restricted - around £130.00
Istanbul/ London/Tokyo/London/Stockholm - business class flexible - around £3100.00
London/Stockholm can be reissued to any other European destination (small fare increase might apply) for any time within 1 month of original travel.
Total cost £3230.00. Business travel on some European sectors. First leg of future trip already included
We have many clients for whom this sort of combined travel is now commonplace. Any of them would be happy to recommend us. Please ask us for contact permission as our clients details are confidential.
