Fly Louie Program To Help Shave Crew Hotel Costs

Author: Jerry Siebenmark

Independent charter operator network Fly Louie Alliance has partnered with Hotel Connections to offer a free crew travel savings program exclusively for its members that will offer savings of up to 40 percent on hotel stays at more than 1.6 million locations. Access to Fly Louie Crew Travel program using the HotelConnect app developed by Hotel Connections is expected on June 15.

“We’ve talked to more than 100 Fly Louie Alliance operators in recent weeks, and the cost and complexity of managing crew travel has been an ongoing pain point,” Fly Louie CEO Julia Takeda said. “We are excited that our independent operator members can access the same savings and benefits that Hotel Connect offers to some of the biggest and best commercial and private aviation companies.”

In addition to favorable rates, Fly Louie said Hotel Connections can negotiate flexible cancellation policies, late checkouts, and other amenities. Fly Louie will monitor sign-up and usage activity by its members, and based on that data will make adjustments to the program as needed.
