NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2002
Universal Express, Inc. (OTC BB:USXP) announced today that Universal Express' subsidiary Virtual Bellhop services are now available to North America-based Sabre Connected travel agencies.
Sabre, the leading provider of technology, distribution and marketing services for the travel industry, will provide agents with access to these services through the Sabre(R) eVoya(R) Webtop, a browser-based travel agency resource center and booking tool that integrates the Sabre(R) system with the Internet.
The Virtual Bellhop service is the premier provider of door to destination transportation of baggage, sports equipment, business materials or anything that a traveler might check onto their flight. With the growing complexity of dealing with checked items at the airport, The Virtual Bellhop Service is extremely timely, easy to use and provides for the elimination of checked baggage procedures. By accessing the Virtual Bellhop service on the web, or calling a Sabre Connected travel agent, a customer service representative will walk you through the steps necessary to allow you to travel baggage free. Your luggage is picked up at your front door, (home or office), and your items delivered to your final destination whether a hotel, resort, condo, or private residence. You do not have to package your items, weigh them or fill out any complicated freight documents. Everything is taken care of from your front door to your destination. Truly, the 21st century way to travel; baggage free.
