WiFi In The Air
It’s time for another round-up of travel news. Today, I’m looking at news of interest to business travelers. First off, there’s good news if you have ever been frustrated by the lack of internet access when flying. Many domestic airlines now offer WiFi access through the GoGo network. Delta, American and Virgin are already signed up, while United Airlines is currently in trials. Other connectivity options are available on other carriers. Find out more in the original story.
Best Business Travel
Entrepreneur magazine has a feature on the Best In Business Travel. Some frequent travelers give their travel resumes and include must have travel tools and tips on making the most of a trip. The article also names the best value hotel chain, rental car company and airline, the best frequent flier program and the best site for travel deals. Well worth a read. See if you agree with Entrepreneur’s picks.
Recession And Business Travel
Travel The World 360 looks at the Economic Recession Diet For Business Travel. More than double the number of travel execs are planning to cut travel spending this year compared with last year. Some of the belt tightening measures undertaken include making everyone fly coach; using three star rather than four star hotels and making travelers use public transport. (My old employer did that 15 years ago; maybe he was ahead of his time.) Find out more about changes in business travel in the full article.
More Of The Best
Travel Answer Man has a list of the best business travel sites and blogs. These are divided into several categories: deal finding; mapping and GPS; carpooling and parking; car travel; traveler reviews; trip planners; social networks; entertainment; and places to meet travelers. There are 50 resources in this list, many of them well worth checking out.
Swine Flu Travel Bans
Finally, there’s news that some companies are banning business travel because of worries about the Swine Flu. Many feel that a temporary ban is better than losing weeks of work because of contracting the illness. Options for carrying on with business include the use of webinars and virtual meetings. Find out more on the Suite 101 business travel site.

This is excellent news for all business travelers, especially the ability to be able to carry on with their business even while flying cause there is nothing worse of these people then being stuck on a 5 or 12 hour flight and they cant access the net. Even with the recession happing yes there are less business travel but unfortunately sometimes these still have to go ahead as planned.Interesting article and I am sure it will help out a lot of those business travelers.
