How To Schedule Your Trip

All travelers must complete a Travel Profile in order use World Travel. Your Travel Profile allows you to store frequent flyer numbers, credit card numbers, and preferences such as seating and airports. This tool allows World Travel to know your preferences when booking your travel and better serve you. Your Travel Profile also prevents you from having to enter information every time you book.

World Travel Inc. has a Travel Portal dedicated to Villanova University. Through the Travel Portal, you are able to access all of the Travel links you will need. Included on this page are links to Cliqbook, iJet, Travel links, and many other tools to book your trip.

You can schedule your business trip using World Travel's online booking tool (Cliqbook) or by contacting one of our dedicated travel agents. Cliqbook is recommended for scheduling most business trips. More difficult trips will require the use on an agent. An agent must be used for trips requiring many connecting flights, the use of special hotel rates (including special conference rates), flying with a non-university guest, group travel, or booking personal travel. Please book all reservations and arrangements at the same time to avoid multiple transaction charges. Contact a World Travel agent directly to schedule any hotel or car reservations, without flight or rail arrangements, to avoid any fees.
