What are some of the benefits of booking your crew members with ITS?
Integrate crew scheduling bid-lines with policy
Multiple airlines have integrated their crew scheduling systems with automated booking robots to bring their scheduling/travel costs and travel management fees down. These robots utilize business rules (including union driven policy) with corporate, consolidator and marine discounts for both air and hotel. Requirements can be booked, modified and auto-canceled in minutes.
Auto-send crew members’ trip options from bid-line
Several airlines use their crew scheduling bid lines with automated booking robots to send crew members in-policy trip options. Once a crew member selects their preferred flight or hotel, the robots automatically book the trip, giving crew members the flexibility to choose the options they want while saving the company money on agent costs and agency fees.

“By Integrating our crew scheduling system with an automatic booking agent, we reduced the time to book 14,000 bid-line room nights from days to 6 hours. This allowed us to redeploy travel staff to other critical functions, and generate savings on non-contracted hotels by booking them sooner.”
