Blogging and business travel seem made for each other. Business travellers are often highly opinionated, have plenty of time on their hands and carry the necessary technology with them to post a rant at a moment’s notice. Here’s our pick of the best, in alphabetical order.

CrankyFlier.com

Brett Snyder is a former airline employee who went into online travel before ending up running this blog about everything to do with airlines and airports. You get pictures of the free peanuts on the filghts he has taken and lots of good old-fashioned rants about poor service and ineptitude.

Snyder says he started Crankyflier.com “after friends convinced him that he had so much random airline knowledge in his head that someone would actually find it interesting if he wrote it down”.

Snyder says the blog’s readers come in four main flavours:

- frequent flyers who simply wants to be more informed about what's happening in the industry since they spend so much time on planes

- airline employees who also want to stay on top of the latest news in their industry

- airline dorks/geeks/enthusiasts who love the industry

- the occasional traveller who comes to the site via search engines while looking for specific answers to questions they may have.

Gulliver

The Economist must have plenty of business travellers in its readership and it is these who are being targeted with its Gulliver blog. In true economist style, there are no obvious bylines or personalities associated with this lively blog, just the locations of the Economist’s bloggers from around the world.

Posts appear daily or more often on a wide range of topics, from women business travellers to unlicensed taxis in China.
