Corporate travel can be a daunting task for operations professionals, production managers, talent management teams, and travel spend managers. From managing budgets to ensuring smooth experiences for employees and clients, balancing travel logistics with cost-saving opportunities is no easy feat.
Over the past 40 years, Frenchway Travel has helped businesses streamline their travel operations, reduce costs, and unlock rewards programs. In this guide, we’ll explore the Top 5 Ways to Optimize Corporate Travel and Maximize Rewards, showing how Frenchway’s expertise can make a difference for your organization.
1. Centralize Your Travel Management
One of the most common mistaes companies make is allowing individual team members or departments to book their own travel. This decentralized approach leads to:
- Missed opportunities for bulk discounts.
- Poor tracking of travel expenses.
- A lack of consistency in travel standards.
By centralizing travel management with a professional agency like Frenchway Travel, you can consolidate bookings, take advantage of exclusive deals, and ensure every trip contributes to maximizing corporate rewards.
2. Leverage Airline Rewards Programs
Airline rewards programs, such as SkyTeam’s SkyPriority, are game-changers for frequent corporate travelers. These programs offer perks that save time and improve the travel experience, including:
- Priority check-in, security, and boarding.
- Faster baggage drop-off and delivery.
- Streamlined transfers for tight schedules.
Frenchway Travel specializes in helping businesses navigate programs like SkyPriority, ensuring your team not only accrues valuable miles but also enjoys seamless travel experiences that reduce stress and downtime.
3. Negotiate Corporate Rates
Without the right connections, securing competitive travel rates is an uphill battle. Frenchway Travel’s 40+ years of experience have built strong partnerships with airlines, hotels, and transportation providers. These relationships allow us to:
- Secure discounted corporate rates.
- Offer upgrades and additional perks for your team.
- Ensure availability during high-demand events or peak seasons.
Whether you’re managing travel for a production shoot, talent tour, or event setup, these savings can significantly reduce your overall travel spend.

Tracking and analyzing travel spend is critical for any business. However, many organizations struggle with:
