We always strive to save our customers at least 15% versus published rates every year. Because we know that when they save money on travel, this frees up much-needed resources that can be more efficiently spent on accomplishing their organisational missions.

For example, in 2019, we saved our customers USD$85 million – equal to the cost of one year of food for 300,000 families, clean water for 650,000 people, or funding for 1,800 university researchers.

This motivates us to keep innovating in every aspect of our business.
