  • 1.  Local Travel Agency Recommendation

    Posted 05-12-2020 02:31 PM
    Does anyone use a local travel agency (Madison area) to help with business travel?  Specifically an agency that keeps track of everyone's frequent flyer miles, hotel rewards numbers, known traveler numbers, credits due to cancellations, discounts that the public would not have access to, runs reports, automatically applies discounts for events, etc.

    Thank you for any recommendations!

    Hi Jodi,
    I have used Burkhalter Travel in Madison for some group travel and have been pleased.  I am not sure of their capabilities for your business travel needs but you could check.  My contact is Alyssa Ziegler, email aziegler@burkhaltertravel.com.  Otherwise, I know Tifani Jones, WSAE member, is now with Fox World Travel based out of Appleton.  Not sure if they have any Madison locations but you could reach out to Tifany to check in with her.  Email is:  TLJones@foxworldtravel.com

    Good luck

    Hi Jodi, I don't personally use his services, but I'm friends with Mike Edic from Pioneer Travel. He is out of the Milwaukee area, but assists clients worldwide. As a former in-house travel agent, he has years of experience and has been on his own for several years.
