The University of Utah’s Travel team is committed to streamlining the travel process – from booking flights to finding the perfect hotel. Part of that strategy involves working with businesses across the Salt Lake Valley to grow partnerships and bring additional perks to travelers in your department. These benefits are only available to users who book through Concur or Christopherson Business Travel (CBT).
Airline Benefits
Delta
SkyMiles: When a traveler books through Concur, those miles are tied to their personal SkyMiles account, adding to annual and lifetime miles.
Preferred Seats: A corporate traveler can choose their own seat including a window or aisle seat toward the front of the main cabin or the exit row, at no additional cost.
Priority Boarding: When booking through Concur, travelers are eligible for priority boarding in Zone 5 – the first boarding zone in the main cabin.
Save on Bag Fees: Travelers who have reached at least Silver Medallion Status have bag fees waived.
SkyMiles Upgrade: SkyMiles Medallion Members have the upgrade priority over other travelers on the same tier.
Priority Service Recovery: Travelers who book through Concur will be prioritized above other passengers when rebooking flights and seats if Medallion State and booking class are the same.
Downgrade Prioritization: If every confirmed passenger cannot be accommodated on a flight, travelers who booked through Concur will receive priority status in a denied-boarding situation.
Southwest Airlines
Benefits of booking through Concur for Southwest flights include preferred pricing, free Wi-Fi with a Rapid Rewards membership and free checked bags. Travelers may also receive a flight credit for cancelled trips. Terms and conditions apply.
