We would be glad to send additional information either electronically or in hard copy form to provide details about how we can best serve your travel management needs. ETA offers a rare combination of size, experience, proactive service, low staff turnover, cutting edge technology and an understanding of the corporate travel marketplace.

Please feel free to email us to request additional information or to arrange a meeting to discuss our services in greater detail. Thank you again for your interest.

• Experienced Staff - The benefit of having an experienced travel counselor working with your travel requests cannot be overstated. Our staff averages 18 years of industry experience and is proactive, friendly, and knowledgeable.
  
  
• One of the Largest Independent Travel Management Companies in the Country - This means that we are in the strongest position to work with airline and hotel contacts in securing benefits on your behalf. Our new office in London provides the international presence for larger corporate clients.
  
  
• Technology - The technology listed below means that no other travel management company, regardless of size, offers its clients the same full range of technology.
  
  
  • ETAMail - All itineraries are emailed to travel arrangers each time a reservation is made or changed, so you always have a current copy.
    
    
  • ETA SchedFinder - This fax or email will list all scheduled flights between cities at a specified time so you will have all available options.
    
    
  • BargainFinder - Each reservation is put through this program that not only identifies lower fares on the particular flights but also on alternate flights or routings so you are aware of lower priced options.
    
    
  • Seatbuster - This "robot" program automatically re-requests all waitlisted items every 15 minutes all day, every day. This includes airline seat locations and classes of services. We have a success ratio of nearly 40%!
    
    
  • Electronic Quality Control - Each reservation record is reviewed by our internal, automated quality control program (QCX) as well as by our quality control supervisor who ensures that all options have been incorporated in the reservation process for each trip
    
    
  • Web-Based Corporate Reporting - You have access to all of your management information as it relates to travel on a 24-7 basis. This allows you to see past history, future bookings, print duplicate copies of invoices, break travel down by accounting codes, etc
    
    
  • Daily Travel Information E-mailed to Each Client - ETA can provide departure information and/or arrival information for all staff members on a daily basis via email.
    
    
• Electronic Profiles - ETA maintains individual information concerning each traveler in a secure profile system that can be completed either online from our web site or on paper. All of our quality control checkpoints are based on the information contained in the individual and corporate profiles.
  
  
• On-line Booking Tool - We provide a user-friendly online booking engine through our web site for those who are more comfortable making their own reservations. Complete travel data is available to your organization regardless of which method is used to make the reservation.
  
  
• London office - Our London office enables us to have access to the many European fares that are not available in this country. We are also able to provide assistance to our travelers that may need to change their reservations while in the United Kingdom.
  
  
• International Travel Specialists - We maintain an international desk, staffed with four extremely experienced agents that handle international accounts. We can e-ticket your reservation from our London office if it will reduce the cost of the ticket, provide security information on the countries you are visiting, and arrange any supplemental transportation you may need in foreign countries including translator service, limousine service, internet access, etc. International travel is generally more detail oriented with fewer options requiring that each and every detail be addressed.
  
  
• Negotiated Air Rates - Northeast Air Shuttles - We have taken the financial risk of guaranteeing flight segments in order to reduce the shuttle rates to both New York and Boston by over $100.
  
  
• Airline Credit for Your Company - You will automatically be enrolled in the corporate benefits programs of four major airlines that return soft dollar credits to purchase tickets, upgrades, VIP club memberships, etc.
  
  
• Hotel Discounts - We combine the discounts at thousands of properties through our affiliation with the ABC Hotel program with those that we individually negotiate on our clients' behalf. All hotels are available in our reservation computer and can be confirmed immediately.
  
  
• Fees - ETA's fees are simplified, one charge regardless of the type of ticket, so your accounting department can easily monitor these charges for accuracy. ETA provides the following services at no additional charge:
  
  
  • All hotel & car rental reservations
  • Processing of exchanges and voids
  • Comprehensive accounting research and/or data handoff for airline programs
  • Access to our online management reporting program-Information Bank.
  • After-hours and emergency travel service (ticketing fees above still apply but there are no additional costs associated with this service)
  • Upgrades, when available on select carriers
  • Regular travel news updates delivered via email
