Zeno travel features

Here’s all you can do with Zeno to make every step of business travel booking easier.

Traveler experience

Domestic and international air travel

With Zeno, travelers can easily book point-to-point international and domestic flights, plus multi-stop domestic flights.

Extensive flight choice

Zeno’s extensive range of flight content lets travelers book New Distribution Capability (NDC) fares through our integrations with Travelfusion and Sabre, plus flights through all the main Global Distribution Systems (GDS), direct API connections, and regional carriers.

More than two million hotel rooms

Zeno offers an extensive range of accommodation options through GDS,  Booking.com, Expedia and more. Travelers can filter rooms by price, rating, location or brand, and compare corporate negotiated rates against other supplier rates to get the best rate of the day.

If travelers prefer non-hotel accommodation like an apartment, cottage or B&B for instance, they’re also available through Zeno and Booking.com.

Major rental cars

Rental vehicles from the major providers can be booked through Zeno, with preferred options based on corporate travel policy and traveler preferences. Rental car searches can be based on depot location, independent of airport location.

Zeno also has a unique capability for the mining and resource industry. Workers can select Mine-spec during their search and know they’re getting a vehicle with the safety and performance features they need.

Airport transfers (only available in Australia and New Zealand)

Zeno supports travelers across their end-to-end itinerary, from pick-up to drop-off, with a range of airport transfer options to suit budget guidance and travel requirements.

Single screen itinerary

Travelers book their flights, hotel, rental car and airport transfers from one screen, which streamlines the entire process and gives them a single view of their trip.

Recognisable and detailed search results

Flight search results include airline branding, plus images and videos of inclusions. This detail, that looks familiar to leisure travel websites travelers are used to, makes it easy to understand what is and isn’t included in different fare options.
