As airlines face critical problems of flight cancellations and delays, efforts are increasing to make life easier and more economical for business travelers.
Many Internet sites offer help.
They no longer provide information just for desktop and laptop computers, but they also feed those handheld wireless devices that are increasingly popular among road warriors. The center was introduced in March 2000, when the online agency Travelocity said business travel purchases comprised 30 percent of its gross travel bookings. The most-used ones are available for quick repricing and rebooking. As with a growing number of other Web sites, you can use a handheld wireless device to book a flight, hotel or auto rental through Travelocity. It provides driving directions and, for pocket PCs only, maps.
