I’m grateful to have all of the staff at Ovation available to assist me.

I have had the pleasure of working with John at the VIP desk for a couple of weeks now. My boss, who travels extensively and is constantly changing flights, requires a lot of attention.

Harry saved the day for me: My boss missed his flight, and due to inclement weather, all flights heading east were completely sold out. Harry managed to find a connection that would allow my boss to arrive at his destination in a timely manner AND satisfied all of his seating preferences. Harry is a fantastic agent who always has his clients’ best interests in mind.

Jason went above and beyond working with my secretary to accommodate my travel requests. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I’ve previously been skeptical of working with travel agencies, but after working with Jason, I see the ‘value added’ from using a travel agency, and will try to work through Ovation more in the future.

I was stuck at JFK after two cancelled flights from Europe and many calls with the airlines that resulted in an unworkable solution. After Ben assisted me, we were able to secure seats on a flight that evening and get home. He was very professional, and worked very diligently (including making several conference calls and patiently working with the airline) to find a solution. He should be commended and rewarded for his efforts.

I was stuck in a meeting when it became apparent that the meeting would end much earlier than I had thought.
