Reeling with the aftermath of the electronics ban on your next long-haul to the States or the UK? Wondering how will you ever survive that 20-hour flight without your laptop or tablet? Instead of being miserable on that flight, catch up on work and entertainment with these tips from UNIGLOBE experts

Ever wondered why the meals on flight are seldom to your taste? In all likelihood, it’s your suppressed sense of taste at 30,000 feet, rather than the food supplier’s lack of culinary skills to blame.

Looking for an experience beyond sinking your toes in the sand or sitting around a crackling campfire this summer? How about taking a cruise vacation with family?

They’re digitally obsessed, adventurous and do business like they do leisure – on their own terms. As the dominant generation of the times, no doubt, millennials constitute a significant section of your travelling workforce.

From airborne showers to saloon style flying bars, airlines are going all out to transform your travel experience. The next generation of gizmos includes innovations aimed at boosting seat density, automating in-flight service and keeping you entertained on board.

Not surprisingly, one of the hardest feats of an effective travel policy is an active implementation. No matter how well planned or laid out, there always seems to be a disconnect between the company’s travel policy and the travelers who use it.

When everything from the décor of your hotel room to your in-flight meal is being customised to your taste, why should car rides be any different?

The advent of digital technology has had significant impact in the past few years, not the least of which is work / life balance for the business traveller.

The costs associated with business travel can add up quickly, especially in a situation where travel is an unavoidable and frequent part of doing business. As you plan for the year ahead, UNIGLOBE experts help get your priorities right when it comes to travel cost optimisation.
