One of the many ways business travellers stay up-to-speed with industry news, frequent flyer advice, airport hacks, and culture and destination tips is the business travel blog.
While the Internet is saturated with blogs of all shapes and sizes, those focused on business travel are still few and far between. So here's a list, selected by The Wise Traveller, of the most important business travel blogs you need to follow in 2019.
Road Warriorette
With more than a decade on the road, Road Warriorette is the go-to blog bible for businesswomen permanently on the move. Advice covers topics such as packing tips, etiquette, fashion and style hacks, business travel and eating while travelling.
Boarding Area
Best put, the Boarding Area is a suitcase-full of the best business travel blogs that offer in-depth news, thoughts and tips. What gives this an edge is that it comes from the people who founded some of the Internet's most popular business travel and frequent flyer websites.
