Wah, wah…Crying babies among business traveler’s pet peeves
Security lines and flight delays turned up at the top of the complaint list and most business travelers are not looking forward to cell phones in the air either, according to a recent survey.
The survey by Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CTW) found a majority or 61% of business travelers would prefer to continue banning the use of cell phones on airplanes.
CTW says the survey was done to gauge attitudes and perceptions of business travelers and corporate travel managers about travel today and in the future.
A majority of those surveyed believe business travel will stay the at the same level or increase this year.
The major complaints overall involved security and delays, but the worldwide study was also broken down into regions.
In the North America area, the No. 1 annoyance was passengers stowing luggage far from their seats.
The study found overall that most business travelers extend their trip to include leisure or vacation time at least once a year, either at the beginning or end.
Almost half said they occasionally or frequently have family or friends join them for the leisure part of their trip.
