New Biz Travel Site for All You Road Warriors

Orbitz recently announced the launch of an online store that will cater to the needs of unmanaged business travelers... so if you don't have the assistance of a travel department, this might be just the site for you.

The new micro-site will be linked through the Orbitz.com homepage and is navigable via its own URL address, (http://roadwarrior.orbitz.com).

The new site features business travel tools and tips geared toward making a business traveler's life on the road just a little easier. There's even a wifi locater, though you better check it before you actually are on the road.

Industry research shows that 75% of unmanaged business travelers book flights and accommodations online, and Orbitz is looking to get a larger share of this business.

Some of the Site Features include:
Up-to-the-minute flight delay, cancellation or gate change alerts

Proactive alerts notifying travelers and their designated contacts of flight status, changes, cancellations and any event that might impact travel

For business travelers who book both flights and hotel, Orbitz will call a hotel for late arrivals to ensure the traveler's hotel room is protected. If the hotel doesn't honor the booking for late arrivals, Orbitz will find and re-book customers into a hotel of comparable quality and value.

Orbitz will email business travelers with any tips and relevant information regarding news that might impact their travels such as a transit strike, for example.

Executive car service and car service alerts are available for customers to find and book luxury sedan transportation.

Orbitz says it is the only travel site with a seasoned team of former U.S. military air traffic controllers, travel agents and former airline employees who monitor nationwide travel conditions and events 365 days a year.
