You probably know how much your company spends on business trips each year. But do you also know to which destinations your organisation flies the most, what the average ticket price is and which employee flies the most or makes the highest costs? This is just a selection of the information we can provide. Our extensive management information system gives you a very detailed picture of the travel behaviour of your organisation. We can also deliver a CO2 report if you wish. Together we analyse the data to see if you can use your travel budget more efficiently. By means of well-organised reports, we map out the expenditure for you. You can indicate how often you want to receive these reports.

e-Business Travel works with a fixed transaction fee, so your costs are always transparent and well-organised. You have three options for paying the travel expenses:

• On account: we pay the travel costs directly and send you an invoice. On this invoice all flights are specified including details of the traveller and possible cost codes. We can also send you a two-weekly or monthly cumulative invoice.
• Credit card: we book the travel costs on the corporate credit card or on the traveller’s card. You then have a deferred payment term of an average of 30 days. The overviews you receive may be less specified.
• Business Travel Account by Airplus and American Express: this works in the same way as a credit card, but with the advantage that you can receive a summary statement with company-specific data, such as personnel numbers, cost codes, departments or project numbers.

By planning and booking your business trips efficiently and smartly, you can significantly save costs.

• Try to book as far ahead as possible so that you will have more choice of airlines and lower fares for your trip.
• Follow newsletters & items from airlines to stay informed of special offers such as KLM World Deals;
• Travellers naturally use their own frequent flyer savings programme, but as an organisation you can also save points at the same time. For example with KLM BlueBiz. You can exchange the saved points, for example for free airline tickets. Take a look at the other corporate savings programmes (LINK to corporate savings programmes);
• Check whether you can combine data from tickets. If a traveller often flies to the same destination, you can book more favourable rates by combining multiple dates of tickets;
• Flights with a stopover can also save you considerable costs;
• Airline tickets are often cheaper if the stay is longer than 3 nights or if a Saturday is included. It is worth considering staying one night longer. This often results in cost savings that exceed the costs for an extra hotel night;
• Know your travellers! If you know that someone changes their flight often, it may be cheaper in the long run to book a more expensive ticket that can be amended (free of charge);
• Make analyses of travel data to see where you can benefit. e-Business Travel can provide you with this management information on a regular basis.

When you book a luxury trip or group trip with us, you will receive an app for your travel confirmation by e-mail. You will receive all information about flights, hotels, transfers, etc. in this e-mail. E-tickets, hotel vouchers and other necessary confirmations have been added so that you have all the information together. This allows you to travel ticketless. Everything for your convenience!
