Founded in 1984 by Eric Maryanov, All-Travel.com, is a privately held professional travel management corporation specializing in corporate and leisure travel planning. All-Travel.com is headquartered in West Los Angeles, CA, with an office serving the South Bay area.
All-Travel.com employs nearly 40 travel consultants with annual sales exceeding $35 million dollars. About 45% of business comes from corporate travel clients.
Offering personalized travel management services from experienced corporate specialists who know how to save you money is what we do best. Corporate travel expenses are an integral part of every company's budgetary concerns. All-Travel's team of corporate travel specialists are trained to secure your travel arrangements at the lowest available rates. While most agencies have access to the same airfares, our travel consultants are very adept at finding you the lowest rate through careful fare construction for both domestic and international flights. When appropriate, alternate flight schedules will be recommended in order to reduce costs. We believe that informed clients make profitable decisions.
Our business clients range from individual business travelers to large international companies. We are never complacent about our business. We continually strive to improve upon our services and technology. All-Travel is strongly committed to keeping pace with and often staying ahead of the technology curve. "CORNERSTONE," our sophisticated automated 24-hour Quality Control program performs over 150 quality control checks based upon your specific profile and preferences and alerts your assigned agent of any changes that need to be made prior to ticketing. Even after ticketing, Cornerstone continually searches on a daily basis (about every 6 hours) for the best available fares, wait-list clearance, preferred seat availability, upgrade availability based on frequent flyer status up to the time of departure. When lower fares are found (which is not uncommon), All-Travel credits the account the difference minus any applicable fees! There are not many travel management companies that will continually look for lower fares after ticketing has occurred let alone credit back those funds.
Whether you are located in another part of the country or locally, our extended business hours (Monday through Thursday 7:30AM - 7:00PM Friday 7:30AM - 6:00PM Saturday 9:00AM - 4:00PM and Sunday 10:00AM - 4:00PM PST) allows you the ability to reach our team of corporate specialists when your local agency is closed.
If you feel your present agency is not providing you with the personal service that you deserve or feel that you are not receiving the best rates, please contact us for a more detailed discussion our services. Let us show you how we can help control your travel expenditures and increase the level of professional and personal services.

Online not always least expensive for business travel , study says
Business travel itineraries booked on public Internet sites such as Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, and the airlines' direct sites have been found to average $75 more per itinerary than those booked by a corporate travel agency, according to a study conducted by Topaz International.
The independent research firm serving the corporate travel industry has provided comparative studies since 2001, and in each year, found that agency fares were equal to or lower than those offered through online sites in over 91% of itineraries.
"The five years of comparative airline purchasing patterns indicates that the online alternatives are not always cheaper, but in fact have been higher over the past few years," said Bradley Seitz, President and CEO of Topaz International.
According to an official release, there are two primary drivers in the purchase of business travel today: price and service. And, in both differentials, corporations that use a travel management company are coming out on top, reported Eyefortravel.com.

A frequently asked question
Why should I use a travel agent when I can do it myself, either directly through the airlines or on the internet?
Despite the advent of direct booking capabilities by the airlines and Internet travel sites, 85% of all travel continues to be booked through a travel agent.
A recent study by Consumer Reports shows that millions of passengers who book direct are getting a bad deal for their travel dollar. Up to 40% of the flying public pays too much for their travel, hundreds of dollars more than they should to fly the exact same route, same seat, same plane, same class of service, same everything.
A good travel agent can help a consumer wade through the thousands of airline and tour fares that are out there and provide unbiased, objective counseling on all of the options available. We are experts in understanding the intricacies of the system and helping you take full advantage of them. We provide a one-stop shopping service for all your travel needs, whether it is an airline ticket, car rental, hotel, tour package, or cruise. And, we'll help you stay within your budget.
Best of all, you can depend on us to provide professional advice and courteous service. We will customize a travel itinerary to suit your budget, lifestyle, and preferences and back it up with customer support when you need it. We have helped thousands of people realize their travel dreams and save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on their travel.
