Top 10 ways business travelers stick out of the crowd

WOW can you tell October is my busiest month of travel or what??  Did not mean to let this much time go by in between posts . . . . I have been so nonstop with work, any spare time I had went to family then sleep.  Thank gosh October is over!  You can always follow me in between on Twitter (@travelermama) or on Facebook (travelermama).  Anyways, back at it now and working on an informative blog coming shortly about going through TSA screening and detectors while pregnant.  But in the meantime here’s a fun Top 10 I thought of while traveling today. 

I always notice my fellow business travelers who board with me in my “zone” . . . however today I really looked around and noticed how easy it is to pick those of us out who are there every week.  So on a light hearted note, here’s the Top 10 ways business travelers stick out of the crowd -

#10 – No matter what the season or city, we are always dressed weather neutral.  No shorts, flip-flops, or maxi skirts.  We always have some sort of coat or jacket or sweater.   Which is never a big puffy winter coat.

#9 – We are always on our iPhone/Blackberry/iPad/laptop . . . both before boarding and during the whole boarding process until the very last minute before they close the airplane door

#8 – Speaking of boarding, we are in line to board loooooooong before the gate agent makes any sort of boarding announcement

#7 – On flights to fun/vacation destination such as Orlando, Las Vegas, or international destinations . . . we are the few who are not wearing vacation gear or are not in vacation party mode

#6 – We are the ones who will tell you when we are in a holding pattern or are headed to the “parking lot” before the captain makes any sort of announcement

#5 – We are those people zig-zagging past you through the airport crowds power walking with suitcase in one hand and Starbucks or other coffee in the other

#4 – We are usually traveling by ourselves . . . maximum group of 3.  No kids.

#3 – You will hear us reference destinations not by city name, but by airport code.  LAX, ORD, EWR, ATL, SFO . . . .

#2 – You never see business travelers check a bag.  Ever.  No matter how long the trip.  We can cram many many days worth of things into that carry-on to avoid checking it at all costs.

#1 – Speaking of bags . . . . we never ever have carry-on luggage or workbag which is pink or purple or red or plaid.  Black black black black black.

 Any other fun ways you pick out business travelers?
