Corporate travelers often have insider knowledge that can make the difference between a smooth trip and a stressful experience. Here are ten secrets they often keep to themselves:
1. Book Early, But Not Too EarlyWhile it's common knowledge that booking flights in advance can save money, corporate travelers know there's a sweet spot. Typically, the best time to book is between 6-8 weeks before departure to avoid higher last-minute prices.
2. Flexibility Pays OffBeing flexible with your travel dates can result in significant savings. Corporate travelers often use tools that show cheaper flights a day or two before or after their intended travel dates.
Some savvy travelers use hidden city ticketingābooking a flight with a layover in the city they actually want to visit, then skipping the final leg of the flight. This can sometimes be cheaper, but it comes with risks, such as the airline canceling the rest of your ticket.

Loyalty programs aren't just for frequent flyers. Even occasional corporate travelers can benefit from signing up for these programs to earn miles and enjoy perks like priority boarding.
5. Always Check Multiple Booking SitesDon't rely on just one travel site. Prices can vary, so check multiple sites or use a comparison tool to find the best deal.
6. Book Flights on TuesdaysMany corporate travelers know that airlines often release sales on Monday evenings, making Tuesday morning a prime time to book flights at lower prices.
7. Use a VPN to Change Your LocationPrices for the same flight can vary depending on your location. Some corporate travelers use a VPN to check fares from different countries and book from the one offering the lowest price.
8. Consider Budget Airlines for Short TripsFor short flights, budget airlines can offer significant savings. However, corporate travelers know to watch out for extra fees that can add up quickly.
9. Take Advantage of Credit Card RewardsMany corporate travelers use credit cards that offer travel rewards, earning points or miles for every dollar spent. These can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, and more.
10. Donāt Be Afraid to Ask for UpgradesYou'd be surprised how often upgrades are available if you just ask. Corporate travelers know that being polite and asking at the right time can sometimes get them a better seat or even an upgrade to business class.
