Flyte Systems is the only full service flight information display solution that provides real-time departure information. “We installed our new FlyteBoard three weeks ago and it instantly was a major convenience to our guests,” said Brent Hnatow, general manager of the Holiday Inn Express Kennedy Airport. “We offer free airport shuttle service to JFK and departing guests bring their coffee to the FlyteBoard in the lobby and talk about flights, travel and weather. It gives them confidence in their travel plans and creates a sense of community that makes our property more comfortable. Guests tell us the flight information display, that includes their departure gate, is a big convenience in their busy travel day. Our FlyteBoard also has an AccuWeather radar display that shows weather across the US. This helps guests in planning for their destinations.”
“Flight information is becoming a staple in the hospitality arena. Today’s guests expect to find airport flight information screens at their hotels,” said Scott Triphahn, vice president of Flyte Systems. “Our FlyteBoard displays enable guests to verify real-time airline departure information for one or more airports on an attractive high definition LCD display before they leave the hotel. We also provide weather and traffic updates as well as property self-promotion, way finding information, boarding pass printing and we can send the same flight information through the hotel’s in-room TV system. Many of our clients are surprised they can offer this valuable guest service so affordably.”
