Fairways & Swinford's extensive Business Travel Service includes:
Airline Reservations and Ticketing
Our Sabre Reservations System provides access to the world's major
airlines. We are able to confirm availability of seats instantly, and
to offer alternative routings and fares, if required.
As the 'no frills' airlines increase their network, we are also
booking a number of flights through the internet on behalf of our
clients.
We maintain a traveller's profile on each of our
clients, which includes valuable information - such as preferred seat,
special meal requests and frequent flyer membership information. This
enables us to send any airline a message through our systems, ensuring
that special requests are known to the carriers prior to your check in.

This system works in unison with our in-office Sabre system that
takes care of our Ticketing, Booking Confirmation, Accounts and
Management Information.

Hotel Reservations, UK & Worldwide
Through our Sabre Reservations system we also have access to over
35,000 hotels where reservations can be confirmed instantly. Fairways
& Swinford is also part of the Advantage Travel Group and
so has access to preferred rates at over 6,000 selected hotels
world-wide. This service can offer substantial savings compared with
the hotel rack rates.
Our staff always "go that extra yard" and utilise international
connections to try to secure rooms in fully booked hotels and ensure
that VIP service is received for special bookings.
As with airline bookings, our travellers' profiles contain
information on favoured hotels in various locations, so each consultant
is aware of the traveller's preferences.
