This document discusses how mobile travel booking continues to rise, with 17% of flight bookings now made on mobile. It breaks down the travel journey into "micro journeys" at each stage from dreaming about a trip to returning home. It also discusses using a user-centric approach to communication by optimizing messaging based on where travelers are in their journey. Ancillary revenue from airlines was $60 billion in 2015, so the document also covers taking an intelligent approach to the booking path to improve ancillary sales.

The document discusses the hidden costs of business travel programs, including productivity costs and intangible costs. It provides examples of how online booking tools can help reduce productivity costs by saving travel managers and travelers time spent on booking and approvals. Poorly designed online tools can increase productivity costs if they are difficult to use or do not provide the necessary information. Intangible costs include impacts on employee morale from lack of good travel support tools. Providing personalized, easy-to-use online booking tools can increase traveler satisfaction and compliance with company policies. Overall, the hidden costs of business travel programs should be considered in addition to direct travel costs.
