Flexibility at the core of future business travel
Travel has become more complex and, at times, challenging. Check-in times have increased, travelers need to factor in extra time and costs, and international travel, in particular, has grown more difficult due to varying requirements across countries. It has become standard practice to frequently check the requirements and FAQs of your destination’s travel website as your trip approaches.As a result, flexibility has become essential for both business and leisure travelers looking to navigate this evolving landscape. Many travel service providers have adapted their policies to allow travelers to modify or cancel bookings with ease, often for free or a small fee. Even low-fare airlines like JetBlue have adjusted their policies to accommodate this demand.The trend toward more flexible travel options for corporate travel began well before recent challenges emerged. As TravelPerk’s co-founder and CEO, Avi Meir, noted, 'Travelers have long been seeking less rigid booking policies and fares from airlines. Flexibility to change or cancel any aspect of a trip, for any reason, is now a standard expectation for both travelers and travel managers.Enter FlexiPerk by TravelPerk
