Budget Business Travel

Filed in archive Business Travel on March 17, 2008

When my husband and I moved from Boston, MA. to Summit County, CO., it first seemed like a dream come true. Unfortunately, the dream had one nightmare associated with it: It was impossible to make a dependable living in 'ski bum country. My husband decided to use his IT skills to land a position that allowed him to work part time in North Carolina, and part time at our home in Colorado. As a result, he has accumulated a massive amount of frequent flyer miles, which we use for trips throughout the globe.

These miles came in handy in August of 2007. As the result of writing my book Open Your Heart With Winter Fitness I was asked to present a ski fitness week at Ski Portillo.

The upgrade to business class was much appreciated on the long flight to Santiago. While business class fares can be expensive, there are a few tricks you can use to get a few deals. This article highlights some of your options.
