Travel Group sees progress in Washington on several travel
issues
Mar. 8, 2007 - The National Business Travel Association (NBTA)
expressed its support of several developments taking place
in Washington that could have a positive impact on the future
of business travel and the free flow of commerce.
What
frequent-flier miles really get you
Mar. 6, 2007 - Are some airlines more miserly than others
when making discounted frequent-flier award seats available?
It would appear so.
Biz
travellers stick to what they know
Mar. 5, 2007 - Research released from the 11th annual Barclaycard
Business Travel Survey reveals that travellers are not swayed
by the introduction of a premium economy class by some airlines,
with the new product having little effect on traveller’s
choice of cabin class.
Planes
offer 'space' travel
Business-class flights offer bigger seats and more perks
Mar. 9, 2007 - Business-class passengers can expect some posh
changes on overseas fights. The latest generation of commercial
airlines will be offering wider, cushier seats; longer, wider
flat beds inside sleek plastic shells that define personal
space and enhance passenger privacy; ever-more-sophisticated
in-flight entertainment systems offering dozens of movies,
TV shows, games and music on demand; sumptuous menus designed
by celebrity chefs; and fine wines selected by noted wine
critics.
Business
travellers asked to reveal 'assets'
Mar. 9, 2007 - Gone are the days when airline travel was a
coveted perk, dished out to top corporate executives. Now
the planes are full of noisy vacationers and cranky commuters,
and the whole experience resembles a bad bus trip organized
by paranoids.
NW
Moves Toward Chapter 11 Exit
Mar. 5, 2007 - Northwest Airlines last month detailed its
reorganization plan and filed its statement of disclosure
in bankruptcy court, helping to solidify its intention of
leaving Chapter 11 protection in the first half of the year.
Airport
workers would be screened like passengers under bill
Mar. 8, 2007 - Federal lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday
that would close a gaping hole in airport security that enabled
two baggage handlers to bypass screeners and carry a bag containing
guns and drugs on a commercial flight from Florida.
