News in Brief

Get There Update…
TMG Corporate's online tool for air, hotel and car hire bookings is constantly being updated making your online booking experience even more user friendly by providing one location to shop/book. Here are the latest updates.

Online check-in: you can now check-in online for all participating airlines including no frill carriers via Get There. Links to the airlines check-in page will appear once you have confirmed your reservation. You can also access from your Trips list if you check-in at a later date. You can also check-in via your mobile device by clicking on Trips when you have logged in to your account.

TrypSync: you now have the ability to synchronise and share travel itineraries with corporate and social networking sites and colleagues. These include Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, Facebook, MySpace, Linked In, Twitter and more. This is to enable you to email a copy of travel plans to colleagues or alternate email addresses. At the end of a booking you will be presented with an option to email the itinerary or share with colleagues on social network sites.
