Melon: built for the way the finance space actually moves
Melon is our platform for booking, approvals, itineraries, policy, and reporting. Travelers and arrangers can use it to manage trips themselves or work with a Travel Manager who can see everything — so the handoff feels less like starting over and more like getting on with it.
- One view. Fewer explanations. Real-time dashboards give you a clearer view of costs, compliance, and budget performance — no surprises at quarter-end, no chasing down answers.
- Policy without the pileup. Set travel rules once. Melon helps approve compliant bookings and flag exceptions before they become bigger issues.
- Audit-ready by design. Bookings, invoices, and expenses stay connected, giving finance teams cleaner records and fewer manual reconciliation headaches.
- Book in as little as 5 minutes. Saved profiles, preferences, and loyalty numbers help travelers and arrangers book quickly, in policy, and with less back-and-forth.
- Support that knows when to step in. 24/7 human support and dedicated Travel Managers help handle disruptions -— so your arrangers can have their evenings back

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How can Corporate Traveler assist in emergency situations?
Your dedicated travel manager will handle all the details to make sure that any issues you face while on-the-road are dealt with quickly and painlessly. Alternative hotels, new flights or rental vehicles, whatever you need to finish your trip safely and successfully. You can contact your Customer Success Manager by phone or email, or simply live chat with one of our experts through Melon if you need any assistance. No matter how big or small the travel issue, we’ll help you get it figured out without unnecessary stress and headaches.
-
How does Corporate Traveler support VIP & luxury travel service requests?
The same way that we support all of our other requests: by finding you the best prices and options for your VIP and luxury service requests. Trust us, your financial VIPs and executives will appreciate the top-quality travel options you’ll be able to find for them - especially if they see the prices you’re getting them for.
-
How does Corporate Traveler handle frequent changes and last-minute bookings?
As easily as we do regular bookings. Your dedicated travel manager will be able to assist you with making any changes or last-minute bookings you may need for your finance industry business travel, or you can make them yourself through Melon. This can be done anytime, so you never have to worry about emergency changes to your business plans causing your team to be left without options.
-
What if my team has specific travel preferences?
That’s okay! We know that different teams, and different people, like to travel in different ways. Through Melon, you can create personalized traveler profiles, which will keep track of all their preferred travel choices. Your dedicated travel manager will make sure to keep all of those preferences in mind as he’s booking travel plans for each member of your financial team. And not to worry - your Customer Success Manager will also be able to help you set up your finance travel policy optimizations within Melon, so that everyone is always being booked according to your travel strategy.
-
Can I receive discounts on hotels/flights/car vendors that I book with frequently?
You absolutely can. You’ll be able to save up rewards, points, perks, etc., through all of the regular vendors that you and your team prefer to use. Just let your dedicated travel manager know when you’d like to apply some of those rewards, or do it yourself through Melon when booking.
-
What happens to my old points and statuses collected from previous travel vendors?
Most, if not all of them should be able to be saved, as long as the rewards were earned with the vendors themselves, and not another company offering financial travel solutions. When you set up your account with your Customer Success Manager, they’ll be able to help manage a lot of this process for you, so that your existing rewards carry forward with CT. It’s important to mention: CT can’t carry forward rewards earned with third-party travel companies, as those benefits are usually exclusive to those platforms.
-
How does Corporate Traveler ensure the most convenient flights and hotels for my travelers?
Global buying power, and a team of passionate, skilled travel experts. Your dedicated travel manager will have the experience and insights necessary to find the most convenient flights and hotels for your team, every time. More than that, they’ll also be looking for negotiated rates, exclusive discounts, and other perks, so that your travelers always have the most comfortable, enjoyable trip. You can also find these same benefits through Melon, if you’d prefer to handle the details yourself. And with 24/7 support during all your travelers’ trips, they’ll always have help if they need it.
-
What if I’m worried about outsourcing my travel management?
Tell us about your concerns, and we’ll try to help you understand why you shouldn’t be. When it comes to finding a travel management company for the financial industry, CT gives you the best of both worlds - tech-driven innovations, alongside real human support. Consider booking a chat with one of our travel experts, and we’ll be glad to answer any questions that you may have, so you and your team can start.
