Business travel can be exciting. There are many who hate the idea of traveling for business. And there is a case to be made that the waiting at airports, cramps airline seats, and bland hotel rooms can be off-putting to many people. However, when traveling for business there can be ways to make it easier, if not down right rewarding.
First, there are all the perks to those who take advantage of the frequent traveler programs. These programs provide free flights from the airlines and free stays from the hotels. It is like a bonus from work. However, some positions may require any mileage or points be given to the job. Still, if one flies frequently for work, it could provide a free trip from work. Couple that free trip with vacation time, and the whole paid vacation could be a bonus from work.
Next is just simply learning the ropes of a frequent business traveler. The travel companies provide frequent travelers many perks for traveling with them. Both hotels and airlines have dedicated, quicker check-ins lines for elite frequent program members. There are also upgrade programs so flyers can get into first class or hotel guest could get upgraded rooms. These little perks can make a big difference for those traveling frequently.
Also realize that there will be a natural learning curve that will happen that will make trips easier. Things like what seats make the most sense for certain travelers on the aircraft. Individuals will even learn the different aircraft and where to sit on each. Packing will become an art form and everyone eventually discovers the necessity of carry-on only travel. The hotels provide certain amenities and that could save the need for packing some things like a personal hair dryer, shampoo, or even toothpaste. One will begin to pick-up these tricks of the road warrior trade.
