Global Capabilities 
Kintetsu International is among the largest travel companies in the world. We're part of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate operating railroad systems, freight forwarding companies, departments stores, restaurants, theaters, and hotel chains. We are involved intimately in the way people move, they way they enjoy themselves and the way they conduct and run their businesses. This level of integration provides us with a vast network of services that makes traveling with us exciting, cost effective, and efficient. Whether you are embarking upon a dream vacation, coordinating a business meeting, looking for an ideal property to host an event or want to create an itinerary that mixes business travel with leisure, we can be your guide.
Despite the availability of an almost infinite amount of choice in travel solutions on the Internet, in the newspaper or library, working with an expert saves time, offers security, and makes the most of your travel budget. Kintetsu International makes the process of choosing where to go, where to stay and what to do easy. All you have to do is let us know when and where you want to go. We'll find the best airfare, ideal hotel and sightseeing tours. We'll also provide local guides and make sure every detail is attended to. That's because with size comes the capability to negotiate on your behalf.

We Take You Personally
Don't expect an online ticket broker to anticipate anything about your travel plans other than supplying your ticket. However, do expect Kintetsu to take your needs personally. That means getting to know and anticipate the way you or your associates like to travel. We'll make sure all your travel arrangements are consistent with your expectations and the rest of the details covered so you can enjoy the trip. As the information age has made information more accessible, it can't adjust to the individuality of the traveler. Kintetsu will provide the support and service that can make traveling in trying times far more of a pleasure than a burden.

A Comprehensive Choice Of Services
Kintetsu strives to match our services with your needs. And whether you want to organize an exotic vacation, plan the ultimate corporate event, build a motivating incentive program, plan a group travel tour, go on a fact-finding business trip or enjoy the most competitive service at hotels around the world, Kintetsu International is your travel resource. We have offices in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose as well as in other cities around the globe. And every one of them is linked to a sophisticated, comprehensive data bank assembled from years of experience. Put Kintetsu to work for you and discover all the possibilities.


Dear Kintetsu,
Over the last several years I have found the experience with your Company very refreshing.

I was thinking about the service level and unique attention that Kintetsu affords my company, and i just wanted to communicate why we will always choose Kintetsu to help us coordinate our company's travel plans!

  1. You always search for the lowest fare and always give me more than one option giving the client a choice of itineraries.
  2. You advise when a fare decreases and give a concise breakdown of all reissue charges.
  3. You confirm receipt of requests for cancellations and itinerary changes to ensure proper documentation of each transaction.
  4. We receive a weekly listing of any outstanding reservations.
  5. Every reservation is "flagged" with a ticketing deadline to ensure that tickets are issued before a fare increases.
  6. Our "Unused Ticket List" is reviewed and consequently we can use past credits for travelers on the list, thus saving lots of money!
  7. Most importantly... My travel consultant has a great sense of humor. You certainly make my life easier.
