A business trip should support the work you came to do.
A practical approach with Meridian.
Good coordination connects the appointment schedule with the time and arrangements needed to reach it.
We help organise the practical picture around a business journey: destinations, meeting times, traveller requirements and the arrangements that need confirmation. Planning starts with the business objective rather than an isolated list of bookings.
Whether the trip involves one traveller or a small team, we distinguish proposed arrangements from confirmed items. Booking responsibilities, supplier costs and change handling are agreed as part of the coordination scope.

06 / Business Travel Coordination FAQsGood questions.
Good questions.
A clearer starting point.
Find answers about business travel coordination, project scope and the information we need to get started.
Ask about your projectDo you book flights and hotels?
Booking or reservation work must be confirmed in the scope. Coordination can involve planning and liaison while bookings are made by your team or an agreed provider. Supplier charges are separate unless expressly included.
Can you plan around several business meetings?
Yes. Share the locations and any fixed times so the route and travel windows can be considered together. Appointment availability still needs confirmation from the relevant hosts.
Is visa processing included?
Visa processing is not assumed to be included. Travellers remain responsible for meeting applicable entry requirements; any document coordination role must be agreed separately.
Can you coordinate travel for a team?
Group requirements can be discussed, including shared schedules and individual arrival or departure needs. The number of travellers and complexity determine the scope.
What happens if the schedule changes?
We agree the change process and point of contact before travel. Amendments depend on supplier availability and terms, and may involve additional costs.
Is round-the-clock assistance included?
No continuous or emergency support coverage is assumed. Any assistance hours and escalation contacts should be explicitly confirmed before departure.
Does this include travel insurance?
Insurance is not included unless expressly arranged through an appropriate provider. Your team should confirm its own travel arrangements and cover before the journey.
