Extending a Business Trip

Posted by Teresa Shaw May 7, 2009

The last time I was in New Orleans, it was for business. However, as luck would have it, the cheapest returning flight I could find required a Saturday night stay. While it did mean the cost of another night's hotel stay, the cost difference still kept me in the black, so who was I to not save my company a few hundred dollars?

Radisson is offering a similar deal -- "Friday is Freeday." From May 15 through Sept. 15, 2009, guests will receive a free Friday night stay when staying two or more consecutive nights (Thursday or Saturday night required). The deal is being offered at participating Radisson hotels and resorts properties in North, Central and South America; Asia Pacific; and at Radisson Edwardian Hotels in the United Kingdom.

Do you try to tack on an extra vacation day or two to your business trips? What destinations do you like to spend extra time at? Please leave a comment and get the conversation started!
