Gifts for a Frequent Flyer

They are the ones who make the dollars the hard way. They don’t sit back and let the money come to them. They go out there and push the issue. Whether it is by choice or necessity, if you have a frequent flyer on your gift list then you have someone who deserves a gift they will actually use.

We see frequent flyers every time we get the family together and hit the airport. They are usually in wrinkled suits and have their laptops plugged into those outlets near the end of the aisles in the terminals. Perhaps they are sitting on the floor trying to send out one last email before the last call for their flight or they’re putting the finishing touches on the next day’s presentation. The bottom line is that while most of us are dreaming of the next day’s vacation cocktail, they are on the clock.

So here are some gift ideas for those frequent business flyers:
The travel neck pillow is something that everyone sees on planes and thinks is a great idea, but never buys for themselves. You can find them online from $20 to $60 and like with any pillow the more you spend the better the comfort. Few things will allow for a better flight than this simple device. It will make their time in the airport and on the plane better.

Another great gift for those poor souls who fly from coast to coast is an extra computer battery. Most laptop batteries are incredibly inconsistent in their life supply. The longer you own a battery and the way you use your battery affect the life of the battery. However most with an extra battery will be able to use their laptop on a cross county flight and extra batteries are easy to buy from many physical and online retail outlets.

Frequent business flyers spend a great deal of time waiting around airports while most of us are able to spend our non-work hours pursuing our own unique hobbies. If you really know your gift-getter then you know what they are interested in and whether it is fly-fishing or car racing, then you need to get them a book that deals with that subject. There are few things to do in an airport terminal, but reading is one of them.

When traveling, luggage makes the man. British playwright Christopher Fry tells us, "I travel light; as light, that is, as a man can travel who will still carry his body around because of its sentimental value." He may have found the secret, but most still carry bags and those frequent business travelers carry several. A great gift for them would be a piece of luggage that can make their carryon experience more enjoyable. Airlines are stricter than ever before about carryon bags and a great gift would be a carryon size bag that makes it easy for her to carry and allows her to carry all the necessary items she needs to either continue to do work while flying or take part in a non-work diversion. Check out www.tsa.gov for allowable bags and then look in non-traditional places like REI for luggage that will truly fit the needs of whoever you are buying for.
