BOOKING YOUR FLIGHT IS HALF THE FUN

Business travelers are discovering the joys of booking their trips over the Internet. Conde Nast Traveler magazine surveyed business travelers and found that 22% have booked travel online, and that 86% of that group were thrilled with the results. One airline executive told the magazine that customers feel empowered because Web sites give them access to information about flights, fares, hotels and car rentals that only travel agents have had in the past. The Internet also gives travelers a chance to get cut-rate fares at the last minute.
