Gant Travel

For those of us in the States, Thanksgiving is almost here! (T-minus 9 days to go??????) Even though some have already put their harvest decorations away and skipped straight to the Christmas season, the travel industry does anything but… New surveys found that approximately 132 million Americans will travel over the extended holiday weekend. In comparison to last year’s volume, that’s about a 6% increase overall. https://zurl.co/NTQJ If you can’t tell by those numbers, airports… highways… and dining room tables… are about to get a whole lot busier. No matter how crazy it gets out there, #teamgant is always here to support your traveling team as you hit the road (Gant-booked reservations, of course). We’re only a call away! https://zurl.co/rALT . . . . . #GantTravel #GantIsMyTMC #Business #Travel #BusinessTravel #Corporate #CorporateTravel #Thanksgiving2024 #ThanksgivingTravel #HolidayTravel #AirTravel #TravelRecords #TravelData #TravelProgram #TravelSupport #USTravel #FallTravel #Traveler #TravelNews #TravelTrends #Trending #TravelTech #CorporateLife #RethinkBusinessTravel

Thank you to all who've served. Today and every day, we appreciate your bravery and sacrifice for our country.

The time has come… ? New Department of Transportation (DOT) policies requiring US airlines to issue full refunds in the event of a flight cancellation or “significant change” that is out of the customer’s control went into effect on October 28, 2024. These rules, which were initially announced earlier this year, outlined new standards for when airlines should reimburse ticket costs. Now that they’re officially being enforced, travelers can expect a refund if their flight is canceled or delayed for longer than three hours for a domestic trip, or six hours for an international trip. (And according to the DOT – refunds must be distributed within 7 days for credit card purchases and 20 days for other payment types). That’s huge… RIGHT?!

Planning an international trip is known to be pretty complicated. From customs and border requirements, to government travel advisories, and everything in between, it takes A LOT to make sure you have your ducks in a row. But… Good news alert: One essential part of the international travel process has become WAY easier for many US passport holders. Thanks to the State Department (DOS) – Online passport renewal is now an option for ALL eligible US citizens! https://zurl.co/pqaH Following a successful testing period over the summer, government officials decided to open the new system to adults that hold a current/expired US passport with a 10-year validity period. The current/expired passport can be renewed online as long as it expires in the upcoming year or expired less than five years ago.
