Feb 18, 2002 - Airfare Discounts

GTM in its ongoing quest to maximize travel savings is excited to announce another new program to help our valued corporate clients reduce their travel spend. GTM has partnered, through our Hickory consortium, with a 3rd party that has access to heavily discounted airfares.

This 3rd party buys blocks of seats directly from the airlines at rates lower than the general public would receive. This third party then adjusts the rates for sale and offers to GTM fares drastically lower than the airlines published airfares. These discounts average between 20-40% lower than the published fares, resulting in savings between $100-$800 per ticket.

The ticket receipt you receive directly from the airline may reflect the fare that the airline charged this 3rd party, or may show no price at all. The invoice that GTM emails to you will show the correct and final rate charged to you by this 3rd party and should be used for expense reporting purposes.

GTM continues to seek ways to lower our corporate clients "cost of doing business". We are confident you will find significant savings in this and other cost savings programs GTM has introduced over the past few years.
