 CHICAGO,
IL May 14, 2008 – Flyte
Systems, the leading provider of airport
travel information displays and digital
signage content for the hospitality industry, digital signage, convention
centers and related businesses, announced it successfully installed its
FlyteBoard real-time
airline flight information screen and FlytePass boarding pass printing
station at The Belamar luxury boutique hotel in Manhattan Beach, California.
The Belamar is part of the Larkspur collection of properties and is the
first in Los Angeles.
The Belamar recently underwent extensive renovations to its Restaurant, Lobby, Meeting and Business Center areas and reopened them in March with state-of-the-art, high-end, high-tech capabilities. According to Belamar General Manager Tom Beedon, “The changes were done specifically with the business traveler in mind, and Flyte’s products were a conscious addition to the renovations.” ‘Live’ Flight Information Spurs Selection “We were in Boston at a National Business Travel Association trade show when we first saw FlyteBoard in the hotel where we were staying,” Beedon said. “We immediately thought that it would be a perfect addition to our new Business Center.” Beedon explained that FlyteBoard displays live departing flight status information from LAX on two 23-inch Apple monitors mounted on the wall in the fully equipped Business Center located inside the hotel’s Meeting Center. “Our designers chose these monitors because they look great within the overall design scheme and because of their outstanding clarity.” The Belamar also placed a FlytePass boarding pass printing station next to the monitors for greater guest convenience. The Belamar’s Meeting Center has five boardrooms which is unique to the South Bay region of Los Angeles. “There is nothing comparable for business travelers in this area,” he said. In designing the Center, Beedon notes the property conducted a series of focus groups to ensure their improvements were on target for the business community. “We brought conference coordinators together from some of the area’s top companies and asked them if they thought the changes would be valuable; the Flyte Systems products received a resounding ‘yes’ all around.” Real-time Flight Information What sets Flyte Systems apart from other PC-based applications is its ability to post accurate, real-time airline flight arrival and departure information, not FAA-regulated scheduled departure times that do not list delays caused by:
