I am madly testing a huge stack of gadgets and managed to get a couple of new articles out that highlight executive corporate gift ideas and business client gifts for the holiday season. I also posted another article that provides tips for shipping, mailing and traveling with corporate gifts during the holidays this year.

The PR rep for the Zagat’s 2009 U.S. Hotels, Resorts & Spas survey kindly sent me the survey results for release today. The survey highlights favorite hotel booking ideas from frequent travelers and travel professionals, economic forecasts for business travel (hint: they aren't on the rise) and general trends in business travel.

This is the first day that survey results could be shared online. I'll continue to post information from the survey in upcoming blogs and articles.

British Airways is making holiday business travel easier by now offering mobile check-in to business travelers. The mobile check-in service is available in 11 languages. No downloadables, just the capability to view the British Airways timetable in real time, choose a seat on the plane and check in for flights.
