I've been travelling down the back 100+ flights a year for 15 years and finally get a client who flies me International First class or whatever the highest cabin is and I run smack into the Coronavirus 2 months later.

I love working from home. Microsoft Teams has been fantastic.

And now all we have to do is wait 14 days to start seeing the numbers of Covid-19 infections start to spike in both participant groups (agitators and police).
That should put another damper on resumption of business travel for me

I recently took a new job and my biz travel has declined 100%(!) though I may have one TPAC and/or LATAM trip annually.
I miss the biz class trips and hotels in London, Singapore and Bangkok.
I do not miss the trips to Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Venezuela or Houston, much less the bi-polar supervisor
