business travellers

BO AC’s special services for the business traveller are being stepped up with improved facilities for holders of the airline’s Business Traveller Card.

They include ticket stickers to ensure that card holders get extra swift treatment at check-in, especially at Heathrow airport, London and at Kennedy airport, New York. Special baggage tags will also identify their baggage for speedy clearance at destination.

Cheque encashment facilities have been doubled to a limit of £5O (or equivalent in other currencies) at any BO AC office, subject to exchange control regulations.

For card holders who like to mix golf with their business, the Traveller Card allows them to apply to Ambassador Golf for membership. This in turn entitles them to automatic membership of some 25 top golf clubs in Britain, Europe, Bermuda and the Caribbean. The scheme is being extended to cover the world.

A 200-page booklet containing detailed information on these and other facilities, including advice on car hire and hotels, is being produced and will shortly be distributed to card holders through BOAC offices.
