Flight Centre Corporate has rolled out a new travel planning solution, Trip Options, across its Corporate Traveller, FCM Travel, and Stage & Screen Travel Services brands.
The new tool’s primary aim is to simplify the creation of complete itineraries. Embedded directly within the online booking platform, Trip Options lets bookers build full trip plans, including flights, hotels, and car hire, for both domestic and international travel in just a few clicks. Travel arrangers can generate multiple itinerary options, send them to travellers for feedback, and confirm bookings without juggling emails or screenshots.
“What distinguishes our Trip Options solution from our competitors is its transformative approach to corporate travel management, focusing on organisational efficiency and traveller satisfaction,” FCM Travel and Corporate Traveller Global COO Melissa Elf said.
“We have developed this functionality in direct response to customer feedback. Before Trip Options, bookers found the process of locking in an itinerary inefficient; Trip Options solves that problem, and we are making the process more productive for our customers, and a better experience for the traveller.”
According to Flight Centre Corporate, the platform’s ‘Draft and Confirm’ feature with update alerts reduces errors while keeping bookings within company policy and traveller preferences.
Trip Options also allows travellers to approve or adjust their itineraries easily, giving teams greater visibility and control.
By streamlining processes and reducing delays, the tool is designed to save time, prevent errors and help businesses secure the best travel options efficiently.
“It makes life easier for business travel arrangers and smoother for travellers – no more back- and-forth emails, no screenshots, and no rogue bookings; just easy trip planning and faster approvals,” Elf remarked.
“With Trip Options, travel arrangers and travellers work collaboratively to find the right travel options, moving away from fragmented and cumbersome planning methods.
“Travellers get one tidy email with all their options to approve or tweak in a few clicks. Travel bookers get faster decisions, fewer mistakes, and a clearer inbox.
“We’re excited to introduce this technology to the market. Our solution is designed to revolutionise the way businesses manage travel, making the process straightforward and efficient for both arrangers and travellers.”
