CHICAGO, IL September 25, 2014Flyte Systems announced that the Hilton Arlington in Texas placed two FlyteBoard displays in its new lobby as part of its multi-million dollar renovation.

The Hilton Arlington is owned and operated by Interstate Hotels & Resorts.

FlyteBoard saves guests and staff time

Hilton Arlington’s General Manager James Shandor said, “The two new FlyteBoards in our lobby save guests and our staff time. Guests can simply look at the FlyteBoard for their flights. Plus, FlyteBoard also gives guests their flight’s terminal location. This is a life saver for travelers going to DFW since American Airlines uses four terminals. The display is easy to understand and a great convenience because guests recognize it as exactly what airports use around the world.” Hilton Arlington recently completed a total property renovation that included FlyteBoards as part of their ‘accessible technology’ guest innovation package.

“Flyte Systems displays are quick to install with an internet connection and we have had no downtime,” said Shandor. “We looked at other systems, but Flyte Systems was best suited to our needs. It is a great tool to serve guests at our hotel. Guests often extend their stay if they see their flight is cancelled. If they see their flight is delayed, guests can wait out the problem in our restaurant and bar.”
