During the pandemic, many businesses turned to Zoom (or a similar tool) as a replacement for corporate travel. Now that the world is opening back up again, travel is once again a possibility – and this leads to many companies wondering whether Zoom is a feasible replacement for corporate travel for the long term.

The world of travel is constantly changing. From fluctuating prices to changing travel restrictions, travel tracking has become crucial. It is not enough to just track the prices to get the best deal. It is also crucial to track which flights are typically on time versus those that are delayed, especially for business travelers. In the current climate, you also have to track testing and quarantine requirements.

The latest poll from the Global Business Travel Association shows that business travel is experiencing a rebound. In the poll, 40% of respondents said that their work has already restarted on non-essential business travel. The poll also found that 74% of respondents felt that employees are either “very willing” or “willing” to travel for business.

Business travelers and those who coordinate business travel need to be aware of the various types of flight pricing they will come across. Understanding the differences between private and public airfares, and when to use each, is an important starting point.
