Recognition honors the corporate travel booking interface designed to integrate an intuitive booking experience with the broader trip and traveler support.
SALT LAKE CITY (OCTOBER12, 2026) — Christopherson Business Travel announced today that Andavo Booking, its proprietary corporatetravel booking tool, has won a Silver Award in the 2026 Travel Weekly Magellan Awards in the Travel Services – Overall | Booking Interface category.
The annual Magellan Awards recognize outstanding achievements in travel industry design, marketing, products, and services. Entries are evaluated by a panel of experienced travel industry professionals against established standards of excellence.
Launched in July 2026, Andavo Booking was developed in-house by Christopherson to bring a more intuitive, integrated approach to travel booking. Built directly into the company’s Andavo platform, the experience combines a modern booking interface with the policy, trip information, and advisor support that business travelers and travel managers rely on.
Unlike standalone booking tools that focus primarily on completing a reservation, Andavo Booking was designed with the traveler’s entire journey in mind. Travelers can search and compare flights, hotels, and rental cars in one place, with results tailored to their preferences and company travel policy. Preferred suppliers and negotiated rates are incorporated into the shopping experience, helping travelers make informed choices while supporting organizational travel requirements.
Behind the interface, each reservation becomes part of a shared trip record accessible to travelers, travel managers, and Christopherson advisors. This connection helps preserve important trip information when plans change and gives advisors the context they need to assist with disruptions, modifications, and other travel needs.
“In travel, a bad decision or bad data has real consequences, so we have to care about the little details in everything we design and build just as much as we care about every interaction,” said Gregory Mueller, Chief Design Officer at Christopherson. "It’s all one customer journey.”
Developing the Andavo platform in-house also allows Christopherson to shape the entire travel experience around the needs of its customers and the realities of managed travel. By bringing technology development and travel management expertise together, the company can continually refine how travelers interact with the platform and how that experience connects to service throughout the trip.
The Magellan Awards recognize creative and innovative work across the travel industry. In announcing this year’s winners, Travel Weekly Editor-in-Chief Johanna Jainchill said, “Year after year, the Magellan Awards showcase the very best of travel industry creativity and innovation,” adding that each year brings new ideas and execution that challenge expectations.
The Silver Award marks an early milestone for the Andavo Booking experience following its launch this summer and reflects Christopherson’s focus on developing technology that makes travel easier to book, manage, and support.
“I’m delighted with the award. The team certainly earned it," said Mueller. "The early customer response has been fantastic, and we’re just getting started.”
