GEN 300 With lost bags, delayed and canceled flights, frequent business travel can be a real headache. On the other hand, it can also be very rewarding. If you plan right and do some research, you can get some very nice benefits for yourself. There are several ways available to you such as airline frequent flyer and hotel frequent visitor programs. Also, there are credit card bonus programs and some perks to travel in general.
Non-financial benefits
First of all, there are some non-financial advantages to all of this hassle. By being willing to travel frequently, you’ll earn the appreciation of your management since it’s often hard to find people who are willing to do it. You’ll also gain the appreciation of your peers as it means they won’t have to travel as much.
If you’re going to school or trying to learn on your own, you’ll have plenty of time for studying. When traveling alone, you have no one to talk to. This gives you time to read and study. What better place than an airport terminal or on an airplane.
When you arrive in a new city, often the first thing you’ll do is pick up a rental car. You’ll probably not get the same thing as you drive at home. Since the major rental car companies cycle through their cars in less than a year, you’re likely to get a pretty new car. No cleaning chores are necessary, as you use the car, you can just leave your trash. You can also develop what I call “It’s a Rental Syndrome”. What this means, is that you drive it as hard as you like and turn it in when you’re done. You don’t have to worry about the longevity of the vehicle as you won’t have it in a few days. As long as you don’t run into anything, you’re ok. If you happen to be in the market to buy one, this is also a good opportunity to take the model you’re considering out for a few days and see how you like it. After
