Business Travelers Today - A Summary




  • Companies have many different ways of making travel arrangements.  Some ask travel companies to complete arrangements, while others rely on their own employees.

 

  • Most companies have travel policies that set rules and standards about classes for flights, hotels and car hire.

 

  • There are often reasons for not following standard policies.  These will usually have to be approved by a manager.

 

  • Business travelers are mostly men (86%)

 

  • Their average age is 46, and they expect high standards, good service and as much comfort and luxury as their company can afford.  This can mean big profits for airlines and hotels.

 

  • When choosing a flight, the times of departure and arrival, together with the speed of the journey, are often more important than the preferred airline.
