- 10. HPN Meeting Services:Airline Transportation Pre-planning: Group air analysis is prepared as the first step to demonstrate the current airfares and determine the best travel service, routing, and/or lowest fares possible. There are three air options: – Individual Airline Reservation Process: The airline request is researched and sent to the traveler to review and approve before ticketing. The travelers’ special requests will be addressed at this time and the Shamrock Travel Allocation implemented. – Group Block Airline Reservation Process: A block of seats are reserved with the airline and those options are offered to the passengers. No deviations or changes are permitted on group blocks. Ticket fares are locked in advance, airline inventory is removed from open sales. Passenger names are provided to the airline by pre- determined contracted deadlines. – Charter Airline: An airline charter is contracted for a set fee. This option is suggested if all attendees are traveling to and from the same location on the same date and time. This is often not the most economical fare option.
