Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 12, 2008 -- Flyte Systems (http://www.flytesystems.com/?campaign=PRWebSeattleHiltonDoubtreeFeb122008), the leading provider of airport flight information (http://flytesystems.com/hospitality.html?campaign=PRWebSeattleHiltonDoubtreeFeb122008) displays and digital signage (http://flytesystems.com/FlyteBoard.html?campaign=PRWebSeattleHiltonDoubtreeFeb122008) content for the hospitality, digital signage, convention centers and related businesses, announced it successfully installed its FlyteBoard real-time airline information display screens at the Doubletree Hotel Seattle Airport and the Hilton Seattle Airport Hotel and Conference Center. The properties share common ownership and comprise over 1,200 rooms. FlyteBoard is one of four Flyte Systems service solutions that provide the traveling public with reliable flight information.
"We serve thousands of guests at our two large airport hotels and understand that air travel today is work," said Anne Santistevan, director of business development at the Doubletree and Hilton Seattle Airport properties. "We implement innovative service technologies like FlyteBoard to help the large number of guests who visit our properties gain control of their traveling lives again. The FlyteBoard displays are clearly valued by our guests. It was an easy decision to install the systems." With their huge number of rooms and more than 80,000 square feet of combined meeting space, the Doubletree and Hilton Seattle Airport hotels cater almost exclusively to business travelers and conference guests that arrive by air.
Good for Guests, Good for Business
According to Santistevan, the FlyteBoards at the two properties are extremely popular. She notes that not only do guests make extensive use of the boards at both hotels, but so do the numerous flight crews that stay on property. "Before we installed FlyteBoard, the crews would have to call in to confirm their plans. But now we see them also checking the boards to confirm their schedules. There are always people in front of the FlyteBoard verifying flight information. It is a great service for hotels that serve airport-bound guests."
The night staffs at the two properties also use the boards as an effective marketing tool to fill rooms during inclement weather. "When our night teams see flights are being cancelled or delayed, we are able to immediately call the affected airlines to offer as many rooms as we have available for distressed travelers - this fills rooms," Santistevan reported.

FlyteBoard, developed by Flyte Systems (http://flytesystems.com/FlyteTouch.html?campaign=PRWebSeattleHiltonDoubtreeFeb122008), is a wall, floor or ceiling mounted high-definition, flat panel screen that the properties installed in their lobbies to provide guests with 'glance-and-go' convenience for confident travel planning.
