"The Unofficial Business Traveler's Pocket Guide: 165 Tips Even the Best Travelers May Not Know" is an absolute delight, and it lives up to its promise. For the Frequent Flyer there is much we can learn; for the less than Frequent Flyer, even more. This is perfect reading while on the airplane. The bite size chapters are a delight to taste, and the author's humor makes for an excellent dessert. I often found myself saying, "That's true, I just hadn't thought about it." But there is also plenty of material that I never would have thought about. I've bought several of the books for gifts to friends.
Regarding the previous review, I wanted to write that I DIDN'T know about rule 240 until I read McGinnis's book and I travel about 50,000 miles per year. It saved me from having to buy an extra ticket to make a meeting that I couldn't miss when Delta cancelled my flight. I'm buying copies for every traveler at my company-- it's a great general reference for anyone on the road. Plus, I found it fun to read-- especially the vignettes.
Here is what Tom Belden, business travel columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer has to say about this book:"Living up to the promise of its title, McGinnis' guidebook covers a wide range of subjects, offering practical advice about pre-trip planning, airlines, hotels, rental cars, international travel, navigating through airports, and staying healthy on trips. Interspersed are tales of McGinnis' experiences, little stories that demonstrate how even a seasoned road warrior can be subjected to the indignities that plague travelers. Especially entertaining is one tale about flying into Cleveland during a vicious thunderstorm and taking a city bus to a budget hotel, where the phones had been knocked out by the storm."
You've probably seen Chris McGinnis on his early-morning CNN gig or read his business-travel column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Now he's got a new book, "The Unofficial Business Traveler's Pocket Guide." Except for the fact that the paperback is too fat and too wide to fit in any pocket I've got, I can recommend it unconditionally. New business travelers will learn a ton from the book's 165 well organized tips. Savvy business travelers will find it a terrific reference work and a marvelous cheat sheet. Published by McGraw-Hill, it's a bargain at $10.95; it is available in most bookstores or at the sundry shops located inside many Marriott hotels.
