What the experts are saying about smarter business travel..does it really help
May 13th
On an regular basis articles appear about smarter business travel but very little of the advice seems to help. You can take your personal GPS so that you don’t get lost once you are on the ground and on your way to a client meeting, or pack carefully and wear slip on shoes to get through security more quickly, but none of this will help you when the plane is delayed and you are going to miss your meeting. Not everyone us the option to fly privately but if you looked at the cost savings you could fly “semi-privately” – that is share the private jet with others. Doing this would allow business travelers to finally have control over there schedules and probably less time on the road because the travel would be more efficient. Being a member of jet-it-together.com is a great way to connect with others for sharing jet trips. If you are part of a company that has an intranet you may be able to work with your corporate travel manager or HR to create a place to post travel plans as well as information about sharing private jet options. This way employees can communicate with one another to figure out whether or not they could share a private jet trip. Another option is to connect through TripIt on LinkedIn to find out people’s travel plans and see if you could fly together privately.
Bad weather and cancelled flights, again
Mar 14th
Again, the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are being pelted by driving rain and wind and the commercial airlines are cancelling flights. This is what should be done to keep everyone safe but how do we figure out when we are really going to get on a delayed/cancelled flight? Everytime I call an airline for information I have to push a million buttons to not get the answer I want or I am placed on hold for a very long time. Plus, the web sites don’t have accurate information. Flying privately may cost more, www.jet-it-together.com, but I do have a customer service group that I can talk to who gives me real information and actually calls me with trip status.
