A5. For biz trips, priority is: loyalty, price then experience. I wouldn't be loyal to an airline that didn't give me a good experience. #travelskills

A5: Price is the most important aspect for me for booking flights! I'm trying to learn how to be better about travel hacking though. I'm going to @FlyerTalk Chicago Seminars next weekend to learn how to to maximize points. #TravelSkills

A5 Booking a work trip is usually a combo: price + #loyalty. I check my go-to airline/hotel brand(s) first, but if they're priced too high (or if another brand offers much better value) I hunt around. when price & loyalty come together, it's a beautiful thing! #TravelSkills

A5: Loyalty matters tons when I book a work (or personal) trip mostly because the airline/hotel/car rental company has earned it. But at the end of the day, it's the experience that matters the most! #TravelSkills

A5 Reasons Why I Book a Trip:
1. Experience (preferably new!)
2. Price
I'm a simple girl #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A5: direct flights! As a travel writer and editor I specialize in only a few worldwide destinations. So I tend to create longer trips for multiple destinations on one trip. It also helps me adjust to an 8 hr. time diff. from home base. #TravelSkills @cjmcginnis

A6: Business travel can be great for family life. Going away makes you miss them even more, and hopefully they miss you too! Just take that earliest non-stop flight home, talk as often as you can, and make sure they know how much you love them! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A1. I don't travel much for business. If I do, it is to the Capitol which is not too exciting. 😊 #travelskills

A6 the new term is Bleisure Travel and it’s huge. Surveys shows that bleisure travelers are more satisfied with their quality of life and their work-life balance. You can plan your work for early AM and have the rest of the day for family and fun. #travelskills

replying to @TheSushiLegend
@TheSushiLegend @lucaspeterson Anecdotal at best, but if you look at the upgrade list on any flight now it's often 50-60 deep. Those are all elites gunning for an upgrade.
Also lots of industry shifts to pricing-based loyalty programs, which effectively tightens the qualification requirements. #travelskills

replying to @TripActions @TripActions TIP Have a set time or an appointment to call home and talk to your family each day when on extended business travel. #TravelSkills

replying to @TripActions @TripActions TIP Be sure to let your family know that every time you travel you’re earning miles/points to fund their future vacation. They’ll want you to travel more. #TravelSkills

A4. Best tools for the road? For me, it's all about @tripit and @googledrive. Everything else is less essential. #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6. As a travel writer, when the kids were little, I just brought them with me. Now that they are older I try not to be gone back-to-back trips or block a large amount of time at home like this fall to help with college applications #travelskills
