Trip Sync Drops Booking Fees

Trip Sync, the ‘live data’ travel tool that works together with Outlook– that so many of you got excited about when I wrote about it a few weeks ago– just made a commitment to its customers that may get you even more excited. They’re dropping those pesky booking fees that services like Orbitz, Travelocity, and Expedia always hit you with at the very end of your transaction. They may only be $5-$10, but that adds up when you think about the fact that Americans take about 145,000,000 business trips every year. This gesture goes right along with Trip Sync’s stated mission– to provide a helpful travel service to small and mid-sized businesses. Maybe this move will create a trend toward the elimination of booking fees across the the ‘travel’ board– doubtful, but we can hope, right?
