Non-employee/Non-Student Travel: Only current employees and students have access to enter the self-booking tool found in the travel portal. Once inside, employees and students have the option to make arrangements for non-employees/non-students through the GUEST function. If your current process requires that a non-employee/non-student makes their own travel arrangements, you may proceed with one of the following *options: Airlines: Group Travel is defined when 10 or more people are all traveling together and must be booked in the same itinerary. This may result in steeper discounts than current travel negotiated rates and/or requires additional logistics. In addition to group travels, University hosted events may have unique travel needs. In order to assess your group or event airline needs, please fill out the Group/Non-employee Reservation Form and submit to molly.berger@travelinc.com and travel@miami.com. May take up to 48hrs to process. Hotels: Hotel reservations through Concur are ideal when booking one room at a time. If you need multiple rooms for multiple travelers, it is suggested to book directly through a Travel Incorporated agent at 770-291-5187 or directly through the hotel of choice. Please note: Hotel corporate rates are based on reservations for less than 10 individuals. When booking for groups of 10 or more, this qualifies as a group reservation/room block where employees are responsible for contacting hotels directly to contract prices for groups.
