From long security check lines to missing your loved ones, business trips are never fun. If you're a small business, they can be even tougher -- you don't have a corporate travel department or travel agency to help you book your travel.
(prHWY.com) September 26, 2012 - Mississauga, Canada -- From long security check lines to missing your loved ones, business trips are never fun. If you're a small business, they can be even tougher -- you don't have a corporate travel department or travel agency to help you book your travel.
But for Smart Biz followers we have a handful of services, sites and tricks for making the most of airline travel. Everyone knows how to use their airline Web site or online travel booking sites like Expedia or Orbitz. But here's some tools and resources you might not be familiar with.
1.TripIt
One of the most interesting new travel-oriented sites is TripIt. The site's big trick: you simply email them the flight agenda -- for instance, that you get from your airline -- and TripIT automatically sets you up a travel itinerary page including all the flight, hotel and car rental information, plus local maps, weather and a guide to local landmarks. It's like having a travel agent of your own. TripIt is particularly useful if you book travel via many different Web sites; it brings all that different information together in one location.
2. FlightAware
Need to know what's going on with a flight already in the air? Check out FlightAware, which aggregates in-flight information from U.S.-based carriers.
3. AntennaSearch
Ever get hit with a roaming bill in the hundreds of dollars? Know whether your cell phone is going to work -- and what the cost will be -- before you leave home. AntennaSearch provides free information on cell phone coverage and reception, including cool Google mashups that make your search more interactive.
4. About Airport Parking
Find the best airport parking for your trip -- short-term, long-term, valet, etc -- along with prices, availability and more. Up to date parking information can mean the difference between making and missing a tight flight departure time.
5.Kayak
Kayak.com searches 100+ travel sites for cheap fares, hotel rates and more. The interface makes it easy to compare and filter results and lets you buy directly from an airline, agency or Web site...
