Our relationships with our clients are based on mutual consent. If, for any reason you are not satisfied with our services or we are not satisfied with the relationship, either party may terminate the agreement without any advance notice. We have never required any contractual commitments from our clients and rely solely on our reputation and our service. We are confident that our level of service speaks for itself.
In our experience, the main reason that companies switch agencies is not just due to pricing or because one agency has a particular service over the other, the main issue is that many agencies no longer feel the need to provide high levels of service to their clients. Switching travel agencies is very time consuming for any company. Prior to mandating all of your travelers to utilize one agency, our recommendation to all of our potential clients is to first experiment with the agency you are considering with a couple of your travelers for feedback to assist you in this important decision making process.
Our close relationships with various airline carriers, hotels and car companies will allow us to negotiate with travel suppliers on your behalf to obtain the best available rates. We will recommend the best programs for you such as UA's Perk's Plus/Pass Plus program or AA's Business Extra program. Our vendors will also assist us with challenging situations such as fare waivers, preferred seating, upgrades, expired tickets, communications with service related issues, availability on route, etc.
When there are fully or partially unused tickets, they are deposited into our ticket credit file and are programmed into the traveler's personal profile for future use. Your travel consultant will always remind the traveler if a credit can be used towards another booking.
With on-line bookings, you are instantly committed to the sale without a way of reversing the transaction without heavy penalty. Our agency has the capability of voiding a ticket if it is issued within a 24 hour period with no penalty other than the service fee. This way you have the flexibility of a meeting date changes or another situation arises. This can save you at least $100 in penalty fees each time and possibly the difference in fare.
With our presence and knowledge of the industry, we are able to have penalty fees waived from hotels in most situations. This could be an entire hotel night and in some instances, the entire stay.
With our hotel relationships, we are able to forward your travelers complimentary upgrades at specific properties.
All refunds will be processed within a week's time. MTS is also able to void a transaction on any non-refundable booking within a 24 hour period. Exchanges will be processed at time of ticketing.
