Corporate Training

In an effort to maximize revenues, the airlines have made the air travel system so complex that it confuses and frustrates millions of passengers every day. So unless you know how to work the system to your advantage, it will keep making your life miserable. That's where we come in.

If your company uses a travel agency, a ticket is most likely all you get, and the rest you are left to figure out on your own. Have you chosen the best frequent-flier program? How many more miles do you need to reach the next level of elite status? What benefits would that status give you? How can you upgrade your flights? How can you tell which flight has a better chance for an upgrade?

We provide training that can give you all that knowledge, as well as many other skills and techniques that will make your travel life much easier and calmer. Even if you have elite status, managing your account and making the best of your benefits can be daunting unless you've mastered the game. Not to mention that some benefits are not even officially published.

In addition, we can teach you the implications of widespread but little-know airline practices that harm millions of travelers every day, such as code-sharing and “direct” flight, which in fact are two separate flights with nothing in common but their number. We can also teach you how to predict delays and cancellations and get rebooked before even leaving for the airport.

If your company books its own travel, we can train you on using the Kralev Method, a highly effective booking process designed to lower your costs by up to 30 percent by accessing raw real-time airline data before it's processed by booking engines. We can teach you the intricacies of airfares, travel budget management and strategic planning, as well as where and how to secure the best prices.

The recent spat between American Airlines and online travel agencies marked the beginning of a major shakeup in how travel is booked. Some of the largest and most popular booking sites are no longer a viable option when searching for fares. So in-depth knowledge is a must for today's frequent traveler in order to navigate the maze that air travel has become.

We can also teach you some of the tricks airlines do to overcharge unsuspecting customers, as well as the material described in the first half of this page.
