Do I Need To Complete The Traveler Profile Form In Advance?
No, but you will need to fill out a profile through SAP Concur—the online-booking tool. This will save you time in booking process.
How Do I Register For TripCase?
The Travel Collaborative uses TripCase for itinerary and e-invoice delivery, in-process travel notifications, airline alerts and location services (gate changes, cancelled flights, etc.). TripCase is linked live to TTC’s reservation system, as well as the airlines on all booked itineraries.
The registration process is quick, easy and complimentary. Simply install the TripCase app on your mobile device. Use the same Emerson email address as your SAP Concur Travel log-in. This will allow the two systems to sync all travel, as well as provide real time notifications. In the TripCase setting, you’ll have the ability to set their individual notification preferences, as well as add additional contact emails or phone numbers.
Will TTC Book All Of My Travel Arrangements?
Yes, but you have options. You can do everything through the online-booking tool or you can call your agent can book air, hotel, car and train reservations into one reservation.
What If I Need To Make Changes To My Travel Arrangements?
Contact your dedicated TTC agent when changes become necessary. They will in turn advise you of alternative arrangements and any costs that might be involved.
Will Travel Updates And Alerts Be Sent To My Smartphone?
Once you have registered with TripCase (see above), you can receive alerts to your smartphone.
What If I Need Assistance After-Hours?
TTC has a 24-Hour emergency service provided by ETS (Emergency Travel Services) outside of its usual office hours (9am-6pm, EST). However, please try reaching one of your dedicated agents first before calling ETS as there are fees associated with each call. The phone number will be included on every Emerson traveler’s itinerary.
I Have Elite Status With Another Airline. Do I Have To Travel With An Emerson-Contracted Carrier?
Emerson travel policy requires the traveler to fly on the lowest logical airfare – most of the time, that will mean traveling with an Emerson contracted airline. However, our contracted partners realize the importance of loyalty and in certain circumstances we can match elite status. Contact Procurement for more information purchasing@emerson.edu
