Business travel innovations are taking over airlines seeking loyal connections with this frequent flyer segment. In recognition of the modern, shifting needs of professionals, ventures such as ultramodern airline clubhouses and half-day hotel rentals are popping up.
Some of the consistent needs central to this demographic include constant Internet access, on-the-go networking and access to mobile office spaces. This has given rise to airports promoting in-flight call services and spaces suited to meetings done in transit.
Loyalty programs and specialty offerings are making this travel sector all the more enticing as business segments continue to partake in frequent flyer benefits. With growth on the horizon, further undertakings in this sphere will continue to be seen.
