Daniel Nolte, co-founder of Lanes & Planes said: “We constantly get feedback, especially from our new customers, on how Lanes & Planes has made them more efficient, in terms of money saved, but also in the time they save from making internal administrative tasks less painful and smoother.

Brad Twohig, Managing Partner at Smash Capital Said, “Spending on business travel will top pre-pandemic levels in 2024, but the actual management and booking of business travel continues to be largely dysfunctional and inefficient, The team at Lanes & Planes has built an experience that focuses on making life easier for the customer, with a seamless, transparent, and thoughtful way to book and manage business travel. Investing in Lanes & Planes was a no brainer for us, and we are excited to partner with them as they expand.”
