e-Travel from A to Z

What is e-Travel and how can you use its benefits to your advantage?

To start off, e-Travel is not really a fixed term. We use it here to group all of the various interactive options that travellers have at this moment.
These days, it is already very easy to complete all of the steps in a travel process online:

• pre-trip planning and information lookup
• travel reservation
• itinerary follow-up
• ticketing
• check in
• frequent flyer mileage claim
• ...

Of course, American Express and its partners offer all of these services right now!

e-Ticketing

e-Ticketing is a very important innovation in the travel industry and one that American Express is fully committed to.

Not only is an e-Ticket easier to use, but it is also cheaper. It cannot be lost, stolen or forgotten, etc.

e-Itinerary

Usually when a ticket is issued, you receive a paper copy of your travel itinerary with your invoice.
But there are other ways of accessing your itinerary.

Amadeus, our reservation system partner, offers a solution called Checkmytrip. Via the Checkmytrip website (checkmytrip.com) you can access your itinerary online.
Whenever changes are made to your reservation, they will reflect immediately in your online itinerary.

Access is very simple. Just surf to www.checkmytrip.com, enter your name and PNR-number (this is your reservation number which you will get from your travel agent) and you can see your booked travel arrangements online.

Checkmytrip offers a number of other tools and links which are very useful to the business traveller.
You also have the possibility to print your itinerary or a paper receipt for your e-ticket.
