Amadeus Egypt has teamed with Visa and Travel Guard Chartis to offer a new complimentary service for travellers in Egypt that insures their checked-in baggage against delay.Passengers booking their airline tickets through travel agencies using the Amadeus GDS system will receive complimentary reimbursement from Travel Guard Chartis Insurance should their baggage be delayed or misdirected for more than four hours. Travel agents will be able to provide the new service by simply installing the new Amadeus Itinerary and More solution, sponsored by Visa, and available to them at no cost. The Amadeus Itinerary and More solution is designed to facilitate the production of custom designed itineraries and e-tickets that are in line with a travel agency’s corporate branding and policies. Travellers receive documents created that are easy-to-read, with detailed display of their itinerary including flight information, baggage, seat number, check-in time, stopover points, meals and also displays a five day weather forecast for the requested destination.Moudy Maguid, general manager of Amadeus Egypt, said: “Travelling abroad can be a great experience, but in order to avoid any difficulties, one of the essential things to do is insure your baggage. Amadeus is pleased to be the first GDS provider in the country to offer such a useful benefit to travellers at absolutely no charge. We urge travellers to speak to their travel agents and ensure their tickets are being booked via Amadeus and entail the benefit of not only complimentary baggage protection but a clear and user-friendly itinerary too.”
