International Travel

Travel management companies offer the most accurate and cost-effective booking options for travelers.  They have access to the Global Distribution System, or GDS, which is a system network of real-time information and inventory of available airline seats, hotel rooms, rental cars, train or shuttle services. 

Online travel websites usually do not have real-time access to inventory.  As the cost to use GDS is high, these companies usually grab prices and information once a day. 

Complex international bookings should be made directly with a Christopherson Business Travel service agent.  They have the experience and the knowledge of international nuances associated with travel.
