Babes in the business lounge? No, thank you
This week The Grumpy Traveller turns his column over to Richard Quest, CNN’s fast-moving business travel expert.
Richard, writing his latest travel blog for the CNN newswire, complains,
“I have been busy travelling lately to New York, Los Angeles, and Johannesburg and now on my way to Washington. It doesn’t matter which airport I visit or airline I fly on, there is a horrible common thread. Families on vacation.
“Stressed parents, arms filled with rubbish. Children cluttering up the business lounges. And wherever I look, babies in business class!
“Yup, it is the European holiday season and with more wealth and bumper air miles, families are going on vacation. Often in business class.
“Now in my day – we were lucky if we got a week in Wales as a summer treat. Today if a continent isn’t being covered and an ocean crossed, well, it just isn’t a proper vacation!
“So I want to address the knotty theme of how we can all keep good humour and still get on with our business travels.”
You can check out how Richard fixes the problem on the CNN Travel newswire.
