Egencia Mobile App Features

Flight and Destination Alerts

This unique feature ensures that the traveller is instantly aware of time sensitive issues and helps companies respond to social responsibility requirements.

• Flight alerts inform travellers about flight delays and cancellations that may affect their trip.
• Destination alerts, covering natural disasters, security issues, weather, etc.
• Alerts are prominently displayed throughout the app so the traveller can easily and quickly view and access their alerts.

Additional Features and Functionalities

• Online Check-in is available today for all major airlines - making check-in one-click away.
• Flight Schedules: with this new iPhone app, identifying flight options has never been easier. If the traveller misses their flight, they will be able to quickly determine if and when a next flight is available.
