Business travel in 2026: spending is up, trips aren't. What that means for your budget
GBTA's latest forecast shows travel costs rising much faster than trip counts. Organizations are paying more for the same travel. Here's how to respond.
When a trip is canceled, the money isn't always gone. We track airline credits and use them before they expire.
Canceled trips are a fact of business travel. What happens to the ticket afterward is where organizations quietly lose money. Credits sit in someone's inbox, get forgotten and expire. Our Athens business travel team keeps track so you don't have to.
Airlines handle cancellations differently. Whether you get a refund or a credit depends on the fare, the airline, and who canceled. In some cases, such as a canceled flight or a significant schedule change, travelers may be owed a refund. The U.S. Department of Transportation's air consumer page explains travelers' rights.
Credit tracking works best as part of a managed travel program, and it's especially valuable when travel prices are rising.

We can only track trips booked through us, which is one more reason to keep your travel in one place.
