Business Travel Solutions - Bringing Peace of Mind to Corporate Travellers

It was getting on for 6.30 in the evening and the queue at the check-in desk at Barcelona airport was hardly moving an inch.

The business traveller was a long way back in the queue, feeling frustrated and nervous. Something had happened to flights to France and passengers were being rebooked.

He began to feel a little less confident about the DIY itinerary he had booked with such satifaction via the internet, even though he thought he had saved a lot of his small company's precious money as a result.

Up ahead he recognised someone who had an office near his in East Sussex. He was about to say hello when he saw her take a call on her mobile. Seconds later, she left the queue and headed for the airport exit.

Mystified, he waited his turn. When he finally got to the desk, the news was not good. There were no flights on to Paris that evening, he would have to rebook on a flight tomorrow at extra cost and he would have to find a hotel for the night.

Fuming, he trudged to the taxi rank and headed for the city and a cheap hotel.

If he had been able to eavesdrop on the conversation his acquaintance had been having, he would have heard her expert corporate travel consultant, Christine Gandy, Managing Director of Business Travel Solutions in Sussex outlining a new flight itinerary, amended hotel bookings at her destination and a reservation at the airport hotel just a short walk away for this unexpected stopover.

And if the two ever compared notes, he would have discovered her expenses were actually slightly lower than his and her accumulated stress levels miles lower.

The price of this peace of mind?
The price of a good dinner for one.
