Dear all,

I have a question for all of you out there, who book their flights for business trips:

- What are your most important reasons to book one airline instead of another?

- Are those reasons the same for short- and long-haul flights, or do they differ?

- Can things like on-board meals or other amenities make you choose one carrier ower the other?

- How important are airline loyalty programs for your decision progress?

The reason for asking you these question is, that my little sister will conduct her docterate on the topic why business travelers choose one particular airline. As a big fan of the airline industry, I want to help her a little to get started.

Many thanks to all of you who reply to this thread!
