To drive or to fly to your next business destination? That is the question…

The answer?
Not as simple to derive as one would think.

For business travelers it’s often a question we ask ourselves. Should we drive or should we fly to our business destination? Many factors come into play. Biz Trip Central is here to help you answer that question.

The first question you need to ask yourself is: Is the destination within a reasonable driving distance? Is the location of your business event place in the next county or the next state? If the travel will be more than a few hours by car, traveling by air can be more efficient. It will not only mean a faster trip and earlier arrival, but will give you more time to prepare for the meeting or business event.


The next question to ask yourself is, how much luggage will I be bringing? Are you presenting a business proposal to hundreds where you’ll need a projector, a printer, or hardcopies of presentation materials. Remember those extra baggage fees do add up.



Consider also frequent flier miles. We business travelers know that airline miles and points can add up quickly, netting us many perks as business travelers, including upgrades and free travel.

… and even if you do decide to drive, consider renting a car at the Biz. It not only saves the wear and tear on your car, but renting a luxury automobile may get the other events attendee’s attention.

Ranking the Airlines Frequent Flier Programs on "What Counts the Most"!

Ranking the Airlines Frequent Flier Programs on Seat Availability

If we at Biz Trip Central are correct, the reason we join an airlines frequent flier program and court that airline “sometimes exclusively” is to reach that golden total where we are richly rewarded with a free ticket. I am correct… Right?

So we want to rate which airline has the best frequent flier program. Correct again?

Then the next logical step we should take is to see which airlines offer the best point system. Correct? WRONG! The next logical question we should be asking is whether an airline even offers seats availability to frequent flier awardees.


If you are a frequent flier,
you must agree that finding award seats
are like searching for a needle in a haystack.


Well, luckily we have a study conducted by ezRez Software and IdeaWorks that tracks rewards seat availability on the nine largest frequent flier programs in the U.S. Over a two-month period, the companies made 6,160 test bookings on the websites of 22 of the world's largest frequent flyer programs. The success rates in booking award flights varied from a high of 99% for Southwest Airlines to a low of 11% for US Airways.

  • Southwest 99%
  • Air Canada 94%
  • Alaska 75%
  • Continental 71%
  • United 69%
  • AirTran 68%
  • American 58%
  • Delta 13%
  • US Airways 11%

Is that not an alarming discrepancy between seat availability for frequent flier award seats? I think we're correct again :) We hope this Biz Trip Central article provides you with valuable information when booking your future travel.

Deeper discounts to our customers when you book your Flight + Hotel together

Biz Trip Central is pleased to announce that our Custom Trip Vacation Package Savings has been modified from “Save $315” to “Save up to $525." The savings is calculated from the difference of the total price when Flight and Hotel are booked separately versus booked together for 2 Adults with a 2-Night Length of Stay (LOS).


An internal study comparing prices of Flight + Hotel package bookings to the prices of the same flight and hotel to the same destination booked separately found that the price of Flight + Hotel package is up to $525 less per booking. Actual savings vary by destination, origin, length of trip, and number of passengers.

This reflects deeper discounts to our customers when booking a Flight + Hotel together.

Biz Trip Central clears the air about the new U.S. Passport regulations

Traveling abroad?
Biz Trip Central clears the air about the new U.S. Passport regulations.



As of June 1, 2009, travel rules to Bermuda, the Caribbean,
Canada, and Mexico have changed.
All U.S. citizens are now required to hold a
U.S. passport, or equivalent documentation
for any travel outside the United States.




Equivalent documentation includes:
  • U.S. Passport Cards
  • Trusted Traveler Program Cards
 To acquire a passport the process can take up to six weeks. If you need one in a hurry - there is a fee for expedited handling and delivery.

United States passport regulations for applying for a passport for the first time require that you apply in person. United States passport regulations also require that you bring along two identical passport photos to the passport service station when applying for your passport.

It is required to renew your passport every ten years. If you are renewing your passport, you are allowed to renew through the mail. You will need to send in new passport photos, still two identical 2x2 photos. You will simply send your old passport along with your passport application and other documentation for renewal.

Expired passports will not be accepted at any border crossings, even for short stays. All airplane regulations and passport regulations are worth paying attention to for anyone planning to travel abroad. Being familiar with the rules and regulations can save you time and money.


We hope this Biz Trip Central article on U.S. Passport rules was helpful.
