At my former employer, most of them flew somewhere about twice a year. Then
there's a person for whom I used to work who flies to Birmingham every week. At
that, it's cheaper than moving her there (if she'd even agree to move).

But how many business travelers are parts of workgroups? How many are single
travelers?


The vast majority of ours were single travelers. At times we might send as many
as three people down, but that was rare.

That matches my experience when I worked for a large corporation: 3-5
flights/year for most middle managers.

At [Big Company] we peons took the cattle cars and the bigwigs took the
Gulfstreams and King Airs. The top brass used the corporate fleet to
haul their families around also; the planes were a perq.
