ACTE Members Get Executive Edge With PC Today and Priority Pass

Alexandria , Va (Apr. 26) -- Two new benefits are driving up the value of membership in the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE). PC Today, an online magazine featuring in-depth information on the latest smartphones, notebooks, wireless technologies, mobile software & online services, will become immediately available to association members. Plus, a new partnership with Priority Pass brings the amenities of 450 business lounges at airports in 250 cities, spanning 88 countries to ACTE members.

"Keeping abreast of new technology is almost a full-time job in itself," said ACTE Executive Director Susan Gurley. "Gaining free access to breaking technology news, developments, and updates will save our members time and money. With amenities in decline under financial pressure, access to business lounges around the world can greatly add to traveler productivity and comfort."

PC Today also covers travel-related topics, including GPS systems, airport and airline security, and essential advice for dealing with business travel emergencies. ACTE members will begin receiving instructions for setting up their username and password for their complimentary six-month subscriptions in the next few days.

When joining Priority Pass, ACTE members receive corporate rates plus one complimentary Standard membership for each Standard Plus or Prestige level of membership that is enrolled with Priority Pass. This offer is valid through September 30, 2006. Each membership allows travelers to:

• Check email & access the internet
• Make telephone calls
• Host business meetings
• Work in a business environment while waiting for flights

"ACTE's partnerships with PC Today and Priority Pass are part of our ongoing commitment to provide our members with additional options that save them time and their companies' money, while boosting productivity for the travel department or the traveler," said Gurley. "Additional partnerships are in negotiation."

As ever, member contact data is secure and not offered for sale. Complete details regarding these new membership benefits can be found at www.acte.org.
