Branson Air Travelers Get New Air Travel Options











Branson Tourism Center


Branson, MO (Vocus) July 10, 2009

The opening of the new Branson Airport and new Midfield Terminal at the Springfield-Branson National Airport isn’t the only new feature air travelers to Branson will be experiencing. According to Sharon Budnick, Manager of the Branson Travel Agency and twenty year veteran of the Branson travel industry, the real benefit to Branson’s air travelers will be something they have never experienced before, low cost airfares to and from Branson.

Sharon said during her career serving the needs of air travelers to Branson, the airfares to Branson’s closest airport, the Springfield-Branson National Airport, were extremely high. “In fact,” she said, “they were so high that people actually flew in and out of airports as far away as Tulsa, St. Louis and Kansas City rather than pay Springfield’s higher fares.”

She said that currently the Branson air traveler has never had the low fare choices and options they now have available. Sharon stated that low airfares for travel serving the Branson area are available from Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Orlando, Tampa and many other destinations.

“The combination of the new airport opening, the new terminal in Springfield, lower airfare prices and budget-friendly Branson entertainment has created quite the buzz for Branson vacations,” stated Sharon. Sharon says it is always smart to comparative shop for the lowest fares and always be prepared for possible delays and missed connections.

“Whatever option air travelers exercise when flying to Branson, whether it is through the Branson Airport or the Springfield-Branson National Airport,” she said, “they will be flying into a beautiful and functional new facility that is convenient to Branson.” The new $ 150 million plus Branson Airport opened within two weeks of the Springfield-Branson National Airport opening its new $ 117 Midfield Terminal in May of this year.

Sharon and Branson Travel Agency provide support to its parent company, Branson Tourism Center and can be reached at 417-332-1990 or through its website http://www.BransonTravelAgency.com. Branson Tourism Center is one of Branson’s largest providers of Branson travel services and employs about 100 people. It enjoys an accredited status and A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau. Among other organizations, it is a member of the Branson Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau, Table Rock Lake Chamber, Hollister Chamber, American Society of Travel Agents, American Bus Association, and the Branson Lodging Association.

Vietnam Online Publishes Latest Guide to Transportation in Vietnam

Vietnam Online Publishes Latest Guide to Transportation in Vietnam










(PRWEB) November 14, 2011

VietnamOnline.com, the prime information gateway to travel information, weather updates and cultural events in Vietnam, recently published one of the most comprehensive guides to transportation in Vietnam, including air, rail, bus and motorbike travel.

When travelers first draft their travel plan for a country, the major questions that come to mind are how to get there, how to move from one city to another, how much the ticket costs, which is the fastest way. Such a large number of queries may confuse trip planners, and even make the journey a little off-putting before it even actually takes place. The huge amount of information on the internet makes the matter worse – travelers then need to ask which source to trust and how updated they are.

Realizing the importance of information on transportation, Vietnam Online has built a whole separate section on Vietnam transportation. The section is divided into category corresponding with means of transportation: air, rail, bus, car, motorbike, and border crossing. Inside each of these categories are travel guide and tips that can answer almost any questions of travelers.

The page on Vietnam-Cambodia border crossing, for example, includes a map of available border gates, and bus company contacts in case travelers want to get from Vietnam to its Southwestern neighbor. The page on airport guide, on the other hand, provides detailed description for all airports in Vietnam such as Hanoi Airport and Ho Chi Minh City Airport. These two are also the main entry gateways into Vietnam by most foreigners. Last but not least, there are also articles about bus fares and Vietnam train schedule, which list every single route of coach and train travel in Vietnam.

Without doubt, the newly introduced section about Vietnam transportation is of immense importance to Vietnam travelers in the presence and foreseeable future. Based in Vietnam, Vietnam Online is able to make contacts with corresponding authorities and update the information frequently, making it among the most trusted resources online. For further information, visit the website: http://www.vietnamonline.com/transport.html

Air Travel Center Deploys AJAX for Airlines and Special Fares Search

October 31, 2011 / admin / One comment

Air Travel Center Deploys AJAX for Airlines and Special Fares Search










Enola, PA, US (PRWEB) April 11, 2006

Air Travel Center (airtravelcenter.com), a research and shopping facility for travelers across the globe, now uses AJAX, asynchronous javascript and xml, to enhance the utility of their air carrier and special fares listings. The air carrier database endeavors to include the identifier codes, country and contact information for all passenger and cargo airlines, airplane charter and helicopter services in the world. The special fares database incorporates current air fare discounts being offered by airlines and agencies across the globe. Would a person want to, they could circle the earth and pay nothing but discounted fares for the airline tickets. Free access to the airline and special fares databases are extended to people using handheld wireless devices as well as those using a personal computer.

Since both databases are built using XML, the application of asynchronous javascript makes it possible to sort or search either one in any way the user wants to for their own convenience or need. Results can be resorted, sifted, and searched again without going from page to page. A person might want to see a list of all air carriers based in a particular country or just get the web address or telephone number of a particular airline. AJAX makes it possible to do both and quickly. A person might want to learn if a cheap airline ticket is available to a particular destination or scan all the prices for departures from their local airport or see the current offers of a specific airline or consolidator. AJAX allows all that and more.

The Air Travel Center invites all air carriers to check their listing, request updates, and add new listings. Whether passenger or cargo or airplane or helicopter, by schedule or charter, if your air service is not listed or you want make changes, please send your data or request to steve@airtravelcenter.com for immediate addition or update. Include your IATA ICAO Country identifier codes, Company Name, URL, and Telephone Number for international calls.

If your air carrier, airline consolidator, travel agency or broker company wants to make regular postings to the special airfares wire, please email your proposal to admin@airtravelcenter.com for consideration. While commercial support for the airfare wire comes from listed vendors, public service is given first because all of the prices are given in the description so that click through is not required unless a reader wants to purchase tickets.

To go directly to the air carrier listings, visit:

http://airtravelcenter.com/network/world-airlines.htm


To go directly to the special fares blog, visit:

http://airtravelcenter.com/airfare-specials.htm

The Air Travel Center is published by a global network of airline consolidators providing a free air travel facility for research and planning, shopping and purchasing cheap airline tickets from any country, plus free tools and online services for travelers everywhere. Beyond the Special Airfares and Air Carriers databases are many online services of special value to air travelers and all are free. Instant and private messaging, email accounts, websites, forums, chat rooms, travel research and advice, global flight tracking, travel tips, and airfare shopping guidance are all provided at no cost, with no obligation. The Center was launched on 22 Nov 1998 to empower and inform the individual traveler. Commercial support and service has grown to incorporate more than 100 sales or marketing alliances with airlines, consolidators, and brokers in 37 countries. Privately held airfare databases containing more than 180 million discount prices can be accessed by any person, business, or government at any time from any location using Internet booking engines.

The Air Travel Center is a privately held interest of Rosemarie Metz-Brungard who is somewhat related to the spokesperson, Steve Brungard. The business name was registered with the Pennsylvania Corporation Bureau in 1998 and the website was put online on 22 Nov of that year. The stated business plan is a one liner: “provide a free air travel facility and juxtapose buying opportunities.” The mission is a little more complex because the air travel industry is among the most complex and fragmentary industries on earth. Nonetheless, with online services, tips, tools, guidance, and content, the Center empowers any person or business on that earth to take their own advantage.

Freddie Awards To Return in 2012

September 5, 2011 / admin / One comment

Freddie Awards To Return in 2012












Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) July 27, 2011

Originally introduced by Petersen in 1988, the Freddie Awards were the first to bestow honors based on loyalty program member votes. The famously obelisk shaped crystal awards, utilized by many airline and hotel programs in their advertising, were hand delivered to the recipients by Petersen himself until 1998, when the first Freddie Award ceremony was held in New York City. With hundreds of thousands of travelers participating in the balloting, the Freddes were truly the voice of the frequent traveler.

“It was deeply disappointing when I made the decision to discontinue the Freddie Awards after the 2009 ceremony,” said Petersen. “But today I feel a great sense of joy and certainly relief as the Freddies are set to make their return with a promise to be better than ever before.”

As a result of this agreement, the Frequent Traveler Awards, an event previously produced by the FTEF will be discontinued.

“Our driving motivation for introducing the Frequent Traveler Awards was to continue the amazing legacy established by the Freddie Awards,” said Tommy Danielsen, President of FTEF. “This agreement is a testament to our belief that there is no better way to preserve the legacy of the Freddies than by reviving the original, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of it.”

Development of an updated Freddie Awards Web site and balloting interface has already begun. A Freddie Awards ceremony is tentatively scheduled for April 2012 in New York.

About the Freddie Awards

The original Freddie Awards were founded by frequent flyer guru Randy Petersen in 1988 as a way to give voice to the frequent traveler and to recognize the most popular travel loyalty programs. The awards, held from 1988-2009, were inspired by Sir Freddie Laker, who in 1978 was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his contribution to commercial aviation and the British economy. Known for his pioneering marketing ideas within the travel industry in the 1970s, Laker founded Britain’s first all-jet air carrier, Laker Airways Limited. He also founded the “SKYTRAIN” service, which revolutionized the airline industry by offering no-reservation, low-cost air service. The aviation industry and the world lost a great pioneer when Sir Freddie Laker, the namesake of the Freddie Awards, died on Feb. 9, 2006.

About the Frequent Traveler Education Foundation

Founded in 2010, the Frequent Traveler Education Foundation (FTEF) represents the collaboration of travelers with a passion for loyalty programs and a desire to honor and thank the very best programs for the value that they bring to their members. The FTEF hosted the first Frequent Traveler Awards in Houston in 2010 and in New York in 2011. Over one million individuals participated in voting for the 2011 awards. In addition to collaborating with the Freddie Awards, the FTEF produces educational events for the traveling public.

Committee Examines Air Travel Crisis and How It’s Hurting Entrepreneurs and the Economy

Committee Examines Air Travel Crisis and How It’s Hurting Entrepreneurs and the Economy











Washington, D.C. (Vocus) June 26, 2008

Rising ticket prices and longer delays dissuaded 41 million travelers from flying last year. Most chose to stay home. Their decision brought harsh consequences for entrepreneurs across the nation and cost the U.S. economy $ 26.5 billion. Today, the House Committee on Small Business heard from commercial travelers, the tourism industry and representatives of small firms. Witnesses shared their insights on the air travel crisis, and offered recommendations to mitigate its negative effects.

“These air travel problems are having a devastating impact on both business travelers and the tourism industry. Increasing the cost and time of business or leisure travel is a sure way to make the economic downturn worse,” said Chairwoman Nydia M.Velázquez. “It’s time large airlines recognize what their continued price hikes and diminished service mean for the nation.”

A drop in foreign travel to the United States is compounding the impact of this crisis. A weak dollar should be spurring international tourism to cities across the nation, and boosting the economy. But tourists–foreign and domestic–are opting against the high fees and long delays that have become part of America’s travel system. Experts expect the situation to get worse as large carriers shut down local and trans-oceanic routes to small- and mid-sized cities–increasing congestion at most airports. Witnesses pointed to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) lack of action as a driving factor. They also said large airlines are pushing smaller competitors out of key markets through unfair business practices that further limit affordable travel options for consumers.

“The FAA has known about a looming infrastructure problem for years, but they have failed to ensure the system can handle today’s volume of aircrafts–let alone tomorrow’s,” said Chairwoman Velázquez. “For their part, the major airlines claim they are bearing the burden. But it’s clear they’re more interested in protecting their monopoly than engaging in the sort of market competition that improves service for customers.”

Entrepreneurs–including restaurant owners, retailers and travel agents–make up 97 percent of the travel and tourism industry. Along with passengers, they are the ones who feel the impact of price hikes and delays most. Last year alone, they saw a marked decrease in air transport related business, and most expect the summer travel season to be among the lowest in the past 20 years. Such trends threaten to erode local economies and are likely to bring further job losses in a wide range of industries.

“Massive delays and rising ticket prices are well beyond the point of inconvenience. Oversimplifying this complex problem would be a mistake,” said Chairwoman Velázquez. “The American air travel system is broken, and the resulting crisis is having a serious impact on our economy.”

“To Carry-On or Not to Carry-On,” That is the Question

June 28, 2011 / admin / One comment

“To Carry-On or Not to Carry-On,” That is the Question










OSHKOSH, WI (PRWEB) August 25, 2006

Bottled water, cosmetics, hair gel, perfume, baby formula; the list goes on and on, and the most asked question today by air travelers is “Can I carry it on or not?” That is not an easy question to answer because it seems to change by the day – depending upon who is being asked and where the individual is traveling.

As a result of the recent event in the UK, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has released more stringent carry-on restrictions for all commercial flights -domestic and international. These latest security measures are necessary and for the safety of everyone in the air and on the ground, but today’s air traveler is caught in the confusion about just exactly what they can and cannot carry on their flights.

In an effort to comply with the latest rules and avoid any possible issues at the airport, many air travelers are now shipping their luggage and uncertain carry-on items to their destination in advance of their trip. Shipping luggage ahead not only guarantees that passengers will not be in violation of the new restrictions, but it is convenient, safe, and secure.

Niche companies such as The Luggage Club, the premier door-to-door luggage, sports equipment and goods delivery service have emerged to help remove the guesswork for travelers. The Luggage Club is positioned to meet the needs of this growing trend of travelers who have decided to play it safe by shipping their luggage in advance of their trip. Travelers’ luggage can be picked up at their home, office, or location of choice and delivered to their travel destination, and returned again at the end of their trip. In addition, The Luggage Club has no limits on size, weight or number of pieces of luggage being shipped and service is offered in 220 countries worldwide.

“As a service provider to the travel industry, it is our responsibility to step up to the plate and help to keep passenger traffic flowing smoothly through airports worldwide,” says Todd Kempinger, President of The Luggage Club. He goes on to say, “Our goal is to give our customers the convenience and peace- of-mind of knowing their luggage will be delivered to their travel destination on time, safely and in total compliance with today’s newest regulations.”

The Luggage Club offers a variety of money-saving programs including a Handicap Program for travelers with disabilities, a Corporate Program for business travelers and a three-tiered Travelers Club Membership Program for frequent travelers, plus Gift Cards are available for purchase.

For more information on The Luggage Club, visit http://www.theluggageclub.com or call 877-231-5131 (toll-free).

Air Travel Center Announces China Domestic Electronic Ticketing: English and Chinese Internet Booking Engines Available On Site

Air Travel Center Announces China Domestic Electronic Ticketing: English and Chinese Internet Booking Engines Available On Site










Enola, PA (PRWEB) November 12, 2005

Air Travel Center announces China Domestic Electronic Ticketing: English and Chinese Internet booking engines available on site.

Air Travel Center (airtravelcenter.com), a research and shopping facility for travelers across the globe, has reached agreement with YOEE of Beijing, PRC that allows residents of China and travelers within or scheduled to visit China to book China national flights online and receive electronic tickets via email. For many domestic flights, tickets can be issued and sent within a few hours.

So now, if you are attending a conference in Shanghai and you get that email from your employer demanding that you meet a client in Guangzhou right away; not a problem. Go to airtravelcenter.com and buy an eticket. Make that meeting and make an employer smile.

Among available airlines are: Air China, China Southern, Eastern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, and Shanghai Airlines. All have accepted agreements with YOEE for acceptance of electronic tickets purchased online through the privately held airfare booking engine technology developed by YOEE and now shared with the Air Travel Center.

The Internet booking engine is easy to operate and comes in a Chinese and an English version. It gives PRC residents and travelers from the world over the ability to book a one way or return flight between any of 149 cities in China and receive an electronic ticket via email at any location worldwide.

Steve Brungard, spokesperson for the Center, said: “this is a great service for the people of China and for travelers coming to their country on vacation or business. As quickly as the Chinese authorities can enable it, we will add international flights to compliment the national. We have been watching for a reliable and tech advanced company in the PRC to partner with and we found YOEE.”

About Air Travel Center:

Online since 1998, airtravelcenter.com is a favored site for corporate and government executives, entrepreneurs, academians, scientists, diplomats and field professionals in many countries. It enables travelers, on any mission, to book a flight departing from any country and arriving in any other country or any number of countries from their current location. The Center holds agreements with more than 100 companies worldwide that have private airfare inventory and make it available to the general public. Nearly 4000 of such companies exist and in many countries but only a small portion of them make their privately held fares available to individuals and even fewer provide open Internet access via booking engines. Most remain focused on traditional markets like major agencies, companies and governments. The general traveler seldom becomes aware that companies buy airline tickets in bulk at 40 to 60 percent of the regular price and resell the tickets in their niche markets. The Air Travel Center will continue to contract for this type of inventory and make it available at the website. The downside to all this activity is the keyword “privately held”. Over a hundred companies means over a hundred Internet booking engines because the inventory of each company is unique and their fares and itineraries are held in a proprietary database.

Shopping becomes an essential keyword. Usually less than an hour all tolled, but savings can amount to hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. The Center has posted many tips and offers guidance such that a person can usually save no less than one dollar for each minute devoted to shopping.

The Air Travel Center is a privately held interest of Rosemarie Metz-Brungard who is somewhat related to the spokesperson, Steve Brungard. The business name was registered with the Pennsylvania Corporation Bureau in 1998 and the website was put online on 22 Nov of that year. The stated business plan is a one liner: “provide a free air travel facility and juxtapose buying opportunities”. The mission is a little more complex because the air travel industry is among the most complex and fragmentary industries on earth. Nonetheless, with online services, tips, tools, guidance, and content, the Center empowers any person or business on that earth to take their own advantage.
