Originating in the United Kingdom and now part of Cheapflights Media, Cheapflights made its entrance as the first travel vertical search engine and flight comparison site in 1996. Enjoying great success and profitability in the UK, Cheapflights spread its wings and launched the U.S. site in May 2003. Since its inception in the UK and the U.S., Cheapflights has experienced dramatic growth in site traffic, flight deals, revenue and new customers, and each year builds additional loyalty and recognition among its consumers and partners. Currently, Cheapflights Media (USA) Inc.`s monthly global traffic reaches more than 7 million visits (88 million visits globally in 2009) and our advertising partners achieved global ticket sales worth an estimated US$2.6 billion in 2009. As an online media company Cheapflights does not sell tickets but is dedicated to simplifying consumers` search, publishing great deals and also providing them with the best travel guides. Cheapflights online advertising model means it does not take a commission or percentage of the fares sold by advertisers on its sites and as such its sites are entirely independent and neutral. They are therefore a natural starting point for finding up-to-date deals and travel industry information.
Hess Corporate Travel/American Express is a Bountiful, UT-based company in the Travel, Recreation and Leisure sector.
Gant Travel Management dates back to 1932 when we were originally known as Drake Travel, based out of Westmont, Illinois. The corporate travel surge of the late 70’s spurred a name change and saw substantial growth as we began serving businesses that were too large for mom-and-pop agencies, and too small for the “mega” agencies. Over the years, we grew with one anchor account that asked for every bit of service technology we could get to power their travel program. Unsatisfied with available systems, we launched our own quality control software program, Cornerstone Information Systems, which grew into a leading software development company serving the travel industry. We then went about using our technology, combined with a service-leadership culture and hard work, to optimize the travel programs of our small-to-medium-size business clientele. This is the formula we still use today. In the late 90s, we realized that the best people didn’t always work within driving distance from our call center. So we developed a ticketing process that allowed us to find, hire, and retain great agents and meeting planners no matter where they lived in Canada and the US, thus creating a remote employee workforce. This dedicated “home-based” team provides a service configuration unparalleled to any in the industry. Today, Gant employs the best travel problem solvers and meeting planners in the industry, linking state of the art communications equipment with a unique blend of passion, honor, and attention to detail. It’s this “we can do anything” spirit and our culture of personal freedom and empowerment that allows continual innovation, providing our travelers with the best service possible.
