Business traveler’s preference: Oprah Winfrey
Who’s the dream companion for business travelers? Oprah Winfrey, say respondents to a poll by Carlson Hotels Worldwide.
The biggest complaint? Last minute flight cancellations and delays.
The survey also found that hotel-bound business travelers remain frustrated by basic inconveniences, led by “the condition of hotel rooms” including “beds that are uncomfortable” and “not receiving non-smoking rooms.”
International business travelers shared their views as part of a survey conducted by Synovate Travel & Leisure research firm on behalf of Carlson Hotels Worldwide
The Carlson survey also found the majority of respondents (24%) would like Oprah Winfrey as a seat mate, followed by Bill Gates (23%), Angelina Jolie (22%), Hillary Rodham Clinton (14%) and George W. Bush (13%). Other “dream” companions included The Pope, The Dali Lama, and Barack Obama.
