Cummings, who has run his own travel agency for 20 years, has packed this guide for business travelers with useful information, tidbits, and advice. His goal is to help readers maximize travel comfort, minimize travel expenses, and increase their ability to cope with problems such as lost luggage, lost tickets, overbooked airlines, customs problems, and even jet lag and other illnesses. In addition, Cummings discusses how to take advantage of tax deductions and offers a particularly useful chapter on selecting and making the most productive use of a travel agent. He ends his book with a list of 25 major U.S. metropolitan areas. For each city, Cummings lists such vital information as taxi fees from the airport and alternate airport transportation, suggested restaurants, hotels, places of interest to visit, and weather information. Recommended for business and travel collections.
