Key Travel Online Booking Tool Now Live
April 25, 2025
Key Travel, Northwestern’s new travel partner, is now fully operational. Key Travel offers both an online booking tool and agent-assisted travel services, enhancing the overall travel experience for University travelers.
The transition from Egencia has been successfully completed, and Egencia is no longer available for booking. If you need to change or cancel a future reservation made through Egencia, please contact travel@northwestern.edu for temporary access. Please note:
- The final date to modify Egencia bookings is May 31, 2025.
- After this date, changes or cancellations must be made directly with the airline or hotel.
- Travel reports, itineraries, and receipts from Egencia will no longer be accessible after May 31, 2025.
