Costco Expands Travel Benefits with Artificial Intelligence Rollout

Costco is diving deeper into the travel game, this time with a high-tech partner at its side. The wholesale giant has teamed up with Travelport, a global tech company, to deliver enhanced flight options and travel perks to its members.

Through this partnership, Costco Travel is introducing artificial intelligence via Travelport+. The goal? To make trip planning faster, easier, and more convenient for Costco's members. Now that's a membership perk that feels like it pays for itself.

Costco Travel, which operates in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., is already known for its everyday savings on vacations, hotels, cruises, rental cars, and more. But with AI in the mix, it's stepping into the future of travel planning.

Jason Toothman, Travelport's chief commercial officer, highlighted the big picture in a press release. "Costco Travel is focused on delivering more value to its members by giving them more choice and better offers when planning their trips," he said. He also noted that Travelport's tech provides the seamless, modern experience Costco customers expect.

In addition to AI-powered trip searches, Costco Travel will be leveraging Travelport Insights to analyze market demand—a move that could help them stay ahead of the curve in an ever-competitive industry.

With 139 million members worldwide, Costco isn't just selling bulk toilet paper and rotisserie chickens anymore. They're making a serious play to be a top name in travel services.

Fox News Digital reached out to Costco for additional comments, but let’s face it, the numbers speak for themselves. If you’re a Costco member, this might be your sign to start planning that dream vacation.
