Melon can save you money! Through your Melon platform you will be able to accurately capture any missed saving opportunities for flight bookings allowing you to make informed decisions about your travel programme!
What are missed savings? Missed savings are when a traveller chooses a higher, more expensive fare over a more cost-effective option that complies with your company travel policy. The recommended spend is subtracted from the final price of the ticket. The difference between the two fares is recognized as the missed savings.
