Business travelers willing to pay for shipped luggage
Half of business travelers in a survey say they are perfectly willing to pay $25 to $75 for luggage shipping service.
This was among the findings in this month’s Orbitz for Business Traveler Survey. Another 44% said, however, they were not interested in the service.
“Business travelers today are certainly airport savvy, and given today’s travel climate racked with delays and airport headaches, it’s not surprising that many are looking for ways to make the process easier,” said Dean Sivley, COO and general manager, Orbitz Worldwide’s Corporate Travel Solutions group.
Another question in the survey asked if business travelers had a trip to a popular vacation destination, would they prefer to bring their spouse or significant other along, or prefer to travel alone?
Seventy-two percent said they would rather bring their spouse/significant other. Twenty-eight percent favor traveling alone.
