CWT adds web-based flight bookings to platform

CWT has introduced web-based flight booking capabilities to its myCWT global travel management platform, allowing travellers to buy flights and hotels through the company’s chosen online booking provider. The new option adds to the existing ability to book through any of the company’s servicing and booking channels, including web, mobile, email, telephone and messaging. Niklas Andreen, CWT’s chief traveller experience officer, said: “We are excited about this new launch. It is yet another milestone in our quest to enrich the travel experience of our clients’ employees and fulfil our three core brand promises – simplify travel, unlock possibilities and move forward together. Our clients asked us for a complementary booking experience similar to the one offered by the OTAs but with the benefits of being in-policy. We’ve delivered this with a booking choice that is both fast and easy.”
