Flyte Systems, the leading provider of airport travel information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality industry, digital signage, convention centers and related businesses, announced it completed implementation of its FlyteBoard real-time airline flight information display and FlytePass airline boarding pass printing service at the 235-room Holiday Inn San Diego Bayside hotel.  
 
“Travelers today expect real-time airport flight information at their hotel and Flyte Systems uses the latest technology to keep our guests informed about their flights,” said Jodie Langhammer, CMP, national sales manager for the Holiday Inn San Diego Bayside. “Customer service is the highest priority at our hotel and providing Flyte Systems’ airport information is an excellent way to give our guests the highest level of service.”
 
A majority of the Holiday Inn Bayside’s guests travel through San Diego International Airport. “We specialize in hosting military reunions, and most of the attendees are senior citizens,” said Langhammer. “We feel it is very important to keep their travel days as stress free as possible.  By providing FlyteBoard and FlytePass service, we make it easier for all our guests to travel.”  In June, 2010, the property was selected as “One of the Top 10 Great Places to hold a Reunion” by USA Today.  
 
Langhammer noted that fog can be a major factor in flying in and out of San Diego. “Having the FlyteBoard with Doppler radar display assists guests with travel planning,” she said. In 2009 the Holiday Inn San Diego Bayside qualified and became part of the Holiday Inn brand relaunch to be more contemporary and competitive in the market.  The hotel’s implementation of Flyte Systems flight information and boarding pass printing is part of the property’s total upgrade program.

Real-time Flight Information
What sets Flyte Systems apart from PC-based applications is the ability to post accurate, real-time airline flight arrival and departure information, not FAA-regulated scheduled departure times that do not list  delays caused by air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, crew availability and weather.
 
Many hotel properties also use Flyte Systems’ applications to increase revenue with innovative marketing approaches for distressed travelers.
