A frequent business traveller shares his hacks for getting the most out of flying for work
in January 2024, 83% of travel buyers said their global business travel bookings had increased significantly , moderately or slightly between 2022 and 2023. Businesses are prioritising face time with clients and colleagues around the country, and towards the end of 2023, Virgin Australia reported that small and medium enterprise business travellers had returned to the airline at pre-covid levels.
“I like to get to the airport with adequate time – you never know how long the queues are going to be, even in the priority lane, or at security, and if I end up with more time in the lounge, so be it.” “If I get to the airport early and I don’t have anything pressing work-wise, once I’ve settled in the lounge, I just go for a walk in the terminal – probably only a thousand steps, but every bit helps.
And adding a few days on either end of a business trip to relax or better explore a location can be a savvy way to unwind. Adcorp’s preferred travel management company, Corporate Traveller, found that from mid to late 2023 its customers were extending trips of one to three days into trips of up to six days, adding personal stays to their business trips in a trend known as “bleisure”.Packing versatile smart-casual items will meet the demands of a dual-purpose trip.
