Covington Saved Me Time and Money!
"I spent about an hour and a half trying to book a flight on Friday. I found the flights I'm taking, but couldn't find a way to book them together (different airlines). I figured there was a way to do it.
Linda also saved me about $125 compared to the cheapest rate I could find. I'd gladly pay the service fee for the time savings alone, but couple that with a cost savings too?..... I'll never try and book my own flights again!"

With our team of experienced travel advisors and support staff, Covington provides full-service travel management 24 hours a day, every day.
Reservation Rules Program
The Reservation Rules program, a part of our mid-office system, allows Covington to customize scripts that support your travel policy, ensuring that your travelers are in compliance or required to gain approval for out-of-policy requests.
Travel Planning
Upgrading the travel experience begins with travel planning tailored to your needs. Some travelers prefer to see what's out there and choose for themselves. Others want to leave it to a specialist who knows their preferences. At Covington, we understand. That's why we offer a variety of planning options that allow you to take advantage of our quality controls and adhere to your company's requirements.
