Making travel plans can get easier thanks to a new MetLife program.
The insurance giant announced it has teamed up with AXA Assistance USA to create an enhanced group travel assistance program that now includes concierge services and web site access to pre-trip and travel information. Travel Assistance, administered by AXA, is an optional feature available with MetLife's accidental death and dismemberment products and business travel accident insurance, all part of MetLife's comprehensive portfolio of group life products.
Employees may use travel assistance when traveling more than 100 miles from home, domestically or internationally, for both business and personal travel. These new features are available immediately for new business and current customers on renewal of their group policy.

Employees now have web access to pre-trip information including security alerts, immunizations, visa requirements, currency, weather, etiquette and important local phone numbers.
With the new concierge services, employees can obtain items including: restaurant, shopping, hotel and airline recommendations/reservations; sporting, theater, night life and event information, recommendations and tickets; rental car or other transportation information and reservations; and golf course recommendations and tee times.
"People want to optimize their time when traveling, whether for business or pleasure. Having access to important information before and during your trip along with local updates makes travel easier and likely more enjoyable and productive," says Stephen Pontecorvo, vice president, Group Life, MetLife. "These new features are part of MetLife's continued commitment to meeting our customers' diverse needs and augment our existing medical assistance, legal assistance and identity theft solutions which are part of MetLife's overall travel assistance program."
