(Business 2.0 Magazine) - There's just no getting around it. Between deals that must be done, conferences that can't be missed, and blue-chip clients who demand personal attention, traveling seems to be the one constant in our busy lives.

So what's a seasoned traveler to do? Think different. Want to become a VIP at your favorite hotel? Make the concierge your new best friend. Dreading the London-bound flight in coach? Get business-class treatment at a fraction of the cost.
