Business Traveler magazine
I don't know whether anyone have heard of this magazine.
I found a copy recently in Canadian Airlines's business class. I guess it was left by a passenger.
I have been looking around for it in the news stand but no luck.
Want to know where I can get it beside subscribing, or is it avaliable in London.
They have a website: www.btonline.com
I'll appreciate any information.

There are 4 different editions of Business Traveller.
One is published in HK, and is called Business Traveller - Asia/Pacific. The other is published in NY and is called The Business Traveller International. The 2 European editions are published in UK and Germany. The latter is in German of course.
BT (all issues) are not available on the newsstands in Canada. The UK edition is availabe at WH Smith in the UK. For other issues, you will need to subscribe to each of them through their various subscription departments.
The one you picked up is the UK edition. (Or is it the Asia one?) The UK edition's address for subscription is:
Business Traveller
Tower House, Soverign Park, Market Harborough, Leicestershire LE16 9EF. UK.
Fax: 44-1858-434958.
Website is : www.btonline.co.uk
Each regional issue is quite different since they serve different markets. Though the editorial content between the UK and US issues are sometimes the same.
I subscribe to all 3 editions (except German).

Delta sometimes has a copy on board, if sticky finger people do not remove. Great source of info for anyone travelling internationally.

Empress - if it was Business Traveler, chances are it's the US edition.
The UK edition would be called Business Traveller.

When in doubt, chances are that the Americans have "simplified" the spelling of English words. If there are letters missing ("thru", "color" and the like) you are looking at a US-English word.

Rudi: If you can master a language that puts two (or three, or four) words together into one, as in your example, you can master both kinds of English. The vocabulary and spelling, that is. Grammar's something else.

In a valiant but pointless attempt to build up my post count, I must protest baobab's characterization of "thru" as U.S. English. "Color," "honor," and such are OK, but "thru" is ad lingo like "nite," "lite" and similar junk - for folks too lazy to learn to spell, in too big a hurry to take the time to read, or who think it looks cool ("kewl?")

arturo may have better things to do with his time... like romancing PremEx's lady.
Efrem - I hold the US responsible for introducing words such as "thru" and "nite" into the (advertising) lexicon. No person who speaks Queen's English would dream of doing such a thing.
(You have a long way to go to catch Rudi...)
