We highlighted the environment in this month’s social posts. April 22 was Earth Day, and we are proud to be the first ride service to launch a global carbon offset program. We also put together a list of 8 tips to travel more environmentally friendly.
- We were awarded three German Stevie Awards on Friday night! Blacklane received awards for Best Transportation Company of the Year, Best Technology Innovation of the Year and Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year.
- We have two new airline mileage partnerships: Finnair and Thai Airways. Both give you two points/miles for every U.S. dollar, euro or British pound spent.
- Does your travel schedule keep you awake morning and night? If so, our advice on how musicians tour may help. We were more than happy to assist one of the world’s best musicians, Wyclef Jean, when winter weather struck the U.S.
