Client Quotes
"Nearly all our guests rely on the FlyteTouch lobby kiosks we currently have at our hotels to verify airline information before they leave for the airport. When guests learn their flight is delayed, they usually remain on property and relax in our restaurant until their plane is ready. If they see their flight is cancelled, they frequently extend their stay with us. Flyte Systems' airline information service is a profit center for our hotels."
