Tell us what you need and we take care of everything: it's one-stop shopping!

First-time clients complete a profile, which includes preferences for airlines, meals, hotels, cars and other information.

Lake Cable Travel also records frequent flier numbers so miles are automatically credited. The information is computerized, so the next time you travel, all you have to do is let the agent know when and where you're going. The rest is already on file.

"We make it as simple as possible for the business traveler," co-owner Jan Schneller said.

"When they call in, we're very efficient and don't keep them on the phone. We know they're busy. We cater to that and don't sit on the phone and chat with them."

For the business traveler, that's a valuable service that saves both time and money.

Although a traveler can search the Internet for price information, oftentimes the price they find is sold out or not available at the time they need it. That wastes time.

"It's easier for us to set them up than to have them get on the Internet and search," Schneller said. "They might find some great prices," but when they try to book, it doesn't turn out that way.

Lake Cable Travel will find the best fares for its clients, tailoring the business travel package to stated needs and preferences.

"A business person's time is valuable," Lake Cable Travel agent Bob Wagner said. "We offer good hometown knowledge and service that the Internet doesn't offer."

With recent advances in electronic ticketing, and a nationwide toll free number, Lake Cable Travel can help clients no matter where they're based.

"We can do business travel for anyone, anywhere," Schneller said.

"We don't have to send them tickets with electronic ticketing, we just fax them confirmation and an itinerary. You don't have to be in Canton, Ohio."

Another advantage to working with Lake Cable Travel is that even if plans change and the tickets need to be re-issued, the service is free.

"If travel plans change at the last minute, we don't charge for exchanges or returns," whereas changes for tickets purchased directly from the airline often carry a charge, Schneller said.

Lake Cable Travel caters to the individual, small business traveler. Call the agency to complete a preferences profile and take the hassle out of business travel.
