1. We've been everywhere, man: no, but we book people who have.2. We get free travel: not anymore, though discounts exist if you know what you're doing.3. We get commissions from airlines: not since about 1989 in the US, though some international carriers still offer it.4. We dress up in stylish outfits with ethnic accessories: not if we don't meet clients, and work from home.5. We know how much it costs to go anywhere: not unless we've got it pulled up in the GDS (booking tool of choice, AKA general distribution system). Now that I've been in corporate travel for…
