TravelBank Introduces In-App Flight Booking with Copa, JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic Among Its First Partners

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --­ Today, TravelBank, the modern budgeting and expense app for business, announced its Flights product. Now, in addition to using TravelBank's data-first, AI approach, to quickly and easily create and submit business expense reports, users can search for and book the perfect flight for their trip, all through the TravelBank app.

TravelBank added flight booking capabilities in a continued effort to further streamline business travel management and expense reporting. Flights is launching with more than ten airline partners for travelers to choose from including: China Southern Airlines, Copa Airlines, Icelandair, JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and other major U.S. airline carriers. After a flight reservation is made, a receipt for the flight purchase is automatically added to the employee's expense report.

TravelBank Flights uniquely provides:

• Social seating: With TravelBank you can see which flights and seats have been reserved by your colleagues, so you can pick that seat right next to your co-­worker, or not
• Personalized recommendations: TravelBank learns user's preferences over time and brings the best flights for each user to the top of their search results

"TravelBank serves the modern business traveler," said Duke Chung, CEO of TravelBank. "When we created TravelBank Flights, we focused on making the flight selection and booking process as simple as possible. Search results show the things that matter most to business travelers like flights that offer amenities including power, wifi, and entertainment, as well as the things that just make business travel a little easier, like knowing where your co-­workers are sitting and 24-­hour customer support."

"TravelBank has given Natural Insight an easy way to save money on corporate travel while making our expense system completely painless," said Jesse Sun, VP of Sales and Business Development at Natural Insight. "The new TravelBank flight booking tool will make corporate travel even easier for us, providing our employees with flight options tailored just for them, at the best rates, with the extra bonus of earning TravelBank points. We know our employees will love it."
