Every other month, Travel Talks discusses the latest business travel trends and topics and is delivered by our very own industry experts. Each bite-size session offers insight, how-to\u2019s and top tips to help improve your business travel experience.

  1. Covid-19 requirements<\/strong> \u2013 ensure you check the testing and entry and exit requirements for your destination. Explore our dynamic traveller toolkit<\/a>, which provides a range of resources to stay up to date, including the invaluable Destination Checker.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Brexit <\/strong>\u2013 check you have your entry and exit stamps for Europe and be sure you understand the Schengen Area<\/a> requirements, with regards to the number of days a non-EU citizen can visit the EU in a rolling 180 day period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Queues and delays at airports<\/strong> – due to staff shortages for both airlines and airports, consider choosing arrival and departure flights at quieter, non-peak times. Just an hour either side will mean you\u2019ll be at the airport with a far lower volume of travellers, easing the pressure for you!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Flexibility<\/strong> \u2013 be flexible on times and travel dates. Our Travel Consultants can hold seat options free of charge to have cost effective solutions for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Duty of care<\/strong> \u2013 check your travel policy includes the mandatory elements you need for your journey, such as car transfers, to ensure a safe and seamless journey. Discover more about our traveller safety services here<\/a> to learn how we can support your duty of care obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Gavin\u2019s Top Tips on Adjusting Your Travel Policy<\/h5>\n

            [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Gavin-Sanderson-TT.jpg” alt=”Gavin Sanderson” title_text=”Gavin-Sanderson-TT” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Update<\/strong> your travel policy to reflect any changes in either post-Brexit or duty of care considerations. For example, organisations that travel to repeat destinations should have destination-specific employee education facts in their policy, such as including information on local health care providers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
            2. Ensure<\/strong> all travel partners and providers have been vetted for safety.\n<\/li>\n
            3. Highlight<\/strong> what your emergency protocols are to all your employees.\n<\/li>\n
            4. Make it easy<\/strong> for your travellers to find your organisation\u2019s updated travel policy.\n<\/li>\n
            5. Check all travellers<\/strong> have read your company travel policy and are aware of your Travel Management Company contact details.\n<\/li>\n
            6. Understand<\/strong> how your Travel Management Company manages your policy going forward.\n<\/li>\n
            7. Ensure<\/strong> your business travel insurance covers the current landscape.\n<\/li>\n
            8. Be flexible<\/strong> and patient.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
