Payment for checked baggage on flights within the USA and from USA to Canada
On transatlantic journeys passengers are allowed to take two pieces of checked baggage without payment.
For (connecting or single) local flights this rule is no longer default.
A growing number of airlines now -in lower fare classes- charge fees for checked baggage on domestic flights within the USA and between the USA and Canada. Click here for an overview of the locally applied rules and conditions.
Incidentally airlines do make exceptions (variable per airline) for transatlantic passengers. Your CWT travel counselor is happy to inform you on request.
Return On Investment - measurement tools
Perhaps you have something to organize or you just received an invitation for an upcoming event. Companies are not organizing events and business trips just for fun. Whether it is for maintaining a business relationship, introducing a new product or motivating employees, there is always a reason behind an event or group travel. Often the underlying goals are integrated within the concept of the event, but actual information if the desired goals are achieved, are in most cases not available.
CWT Meetings & Events is not only your partner for organizing events and group travel, but also offers services and tools that can help companies to gain insight in the Return on Investment (ROI) of such an event. For example CWT Meetings & Events can provide tools for conducting a ‘ pre & after’ survey amongst guests or delegates.
By measuring expectations in advance and experiences and satisfaction afterwards of the participant, the gathered data can be tested and compared with the goals of the event. Through this management information Meetings & Events Planners not only get insight in the quality of the logistical organization but also in the conceptual and program quality of an event.
Measurement is making Return on Investment tangible. For more information about ROI services and tools, please contact CWT Meetings & Events through phone +31 (0) 20-2000 385 or by email cwtevents@carlsonwagonlit.nl.
