Savvy advice to make every business trip hassle-free and productive. Business travel can be one of the most stressful or stimulating aspects of executive life; it all depends on how well prepared you are.

It is a forward thinking handbook of business travel management, containing hundreds of ideas for making your time away productive and effective - from 10 things to work on if you are delayed in the airport with just pen and paper, through the best material to take on a journey, to ideas on how to effectively manage your team back home while you are away. From planning a stress-free business trip to making best use of all your time away, the FT Guide to Business Travel is the definitive travel companion for the global executive.
