CHICAGO, IL August 20, 2008 – Flyte Systems, the leading provider of airport flight information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality industry, convention centers and related businesses, announced it has successfully installed its FlyteBoard and FlytePass products at the Holiday Inn Select Hotel & Suites Chicago O’Hare/Rosemont in Rosemont, IL. The property also plans a test rollout, in cooperation with an in-room entertainment vendor, of Flyte Systems’ FlyteChannel guestroom airline information television feed. “Since we are located only one mile from Chicago O’Hare Airport, we
cater to ‘everyday heroes,’” said General Manager Russell John.
“When we recently underwent an extensive renovation we were looking for
just this type of enhancement to better serve our traveling guests.
With the uncertainties surrounding air travel today, providing guests with
accurate airline information fills a much-needed gap and adds confidence
to their travel plans.”
 Real-time Flight Information FlyteBoard, developed by Flyte Systems, is a wall, floor or ceiling mounted high-definition, flat panel screen that properties install in public areas to provide guests with ‘glance-and-go’ convenience for more confident travel planning. What sets Flyte Systems apart from PC-based applications is the 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:
Mr. John notes that the Holiday Inn Select Hotel & Suites Rosemont chose to place its Flyte products in the property’s lobby rather than in the second floor Business Center because it was such a time saver for guests. “Installing Flyte Systems has really helped my staff. Before Flyte they received a tremendous number of requests to go upstairs and print out boarding passes from the computers in the Business Center. The lobby location is so much more convenient since guests can quickly duck out of meetings and glance at the FlyteBoard to see if their flight is on time and then print out boarding passes,” Mr. John said. He also noted the property receives a great deal of positive feedback from guests who no longer have to pull out their phones, laptops or email devices to check flights. “This is more convenient for them.” Installation was very simple, according to Mr. John, and the follow-through was up to his hotel’s own high customer service standards. “We care about our guests and we were confident FlyteBoard was something that would help our business travelers. Once we roll out FlyteChannel, our guests will not have to leave the comfort of their rooms until they have to,” he predicted. Flyte Systems applications are often used by properties to generate increased revenue streams with innovative marketing approaches to the distressed traveler.
