After noticing that many New Zealanders are willing to pay a premium in order to fly in comfort with business or first-class cabins, St Heliers House of Travel set up a new business travel services membership to appeal to these travelers.
The invitation-only service begins with an in-home consultation with an agent that simplifies the process of putting together an itinerary. Being a member to the VIP service means that a traveler always has access to an agent who is able to arrange a trip at any time, including evenings and weekends.
Since business class tickets are becoming more affordable and many senior citizens are willing to pay a premium for that extra bit of leg room, this service gives that extra level of special service that really makes travelers feel as though their best interests are being looked after.
