Travelocity Still Has A Lot To Offer: Expanding And Growing
By James Fox on December 9, 2010, 3:42 pm
“This time of year is a bit hectic, and we want to offer additional savings for those who are booking last-minute holiday travel or looking ahead to next year,” said Lesley Harris, vice president of hotels and vacation packaging for Travelocity. “Hotels and vacation packages are the first place savings can be found, and the ‘New Year’s Sale’ gives travelers extra savings, while rewarding those who book early.”
New Year’s Travel
Travelocity’s cheap flights analysis for New Year’s shows that if travelers delay their returns until the Monday after the holiday (Jan. 3), the average fare could drop as low as $344 roundtrip. Because many travelers add a hotel stay to their New Year’s plans, considering a flight plus hotel vacation package may offer even greater savings. A separate Travelocity study showed travelers can save up to $525 per couple just by booking their flight and hotel together.
Travelocity’s CFO
John Mills has never bought into the idea of the stereotypical finance guy – but don’t let the calm, cool and collected disposition fool you. Rising through the ranks of Travelocity’s parent company Sabre Holdings, John was named Travelocity’s CFO in July 2005 and is responsible for financial management of Travelocity’s North America and Asia businesses. His day-to-day to-do list ranges from budgeting and investor relations support one hour, to strategy development, cost control initiatives, business/investment analysis, and credit card processing, the next.
As part of the restructuring, GetThere’s online technology development team will be integrated with that of Travelocity and the GetThere self-booking technology, and reseller agreements will be offered in conjunction with Sabre GDS services. Sabre intends to continue to allow GetThere users to connect it to competing GDS systems, the company said. Existing clients should experience no changes for the foreseeable future, said a GetThere spokesperson. He said the realignment “brings the full service options all together under Travelocity,” which operates its own fulfillment facilities. There are no plans in place, however, to move clients that are using GetThere’s Fulfillment Service Option with TQ3 Travel Solutions. Most details of the realignment, Sabre said, will be determined “over the next several weeks” by an integration team. The company did say GetThere’s brand names will remain.
