Background
Frequent Flyer has enjoyed a long and rich history serving the serious business traveler. In 1980, Frequent Flyer was launched as a monthly magazine. It offered a hard-hitting, insightful, insider view of the challenges and opportunities facing business travelers and was edited as a news and feature magazine, not a travel trade journal. In 2000, Frequent Flyer ceased the print version and moved its content online to its Web site: http://www.frequentflyeronline.com/ or http://www.frequentflyermag.com/. And in 2001, a biweekly e-newsletter was created. To sign up for this newsletter, go to http://www.frequentflyernewsletter.com/.
In 2002, Frequent Flyer resurrected its print edition with a 16-page insert in the OAG Executive Flight Guide, and in 2003, in the OAG Flight Guides.
Frequent Flyer has recaptured its loyal following of frequent corporate business travelers and is attracting a new audience of entrepreneurs and senior executives with private companies, non-profits and associations who are looking for new and creative ways to get maximum value and enjoyment from their travel dollars.
Frequent Flyer is owned by OAG Worldwide, Inc. OAG is the leading source of flight-schedules information, operating the world’s most comprehensive and up-to-date schedules database. It is an independent company based in the United Kingdom and the United States, with regional offices in Asia.
