First off I highly recommend visiting Mr. Greg Brown’s Travel Tips. Greg has put together a concise listing of great recommendations. Thank you Greg!

General Tips:

For business travel, sign up for Clear. Clear went out of business.
When selecting seats for flights, check www.seatguru.com for seat details.
Ask your preferred airline if they have a accelerated rewards program for business travelers. Some airlines will provide at cost a 3 month trial period for you to get preferred status. During this period you’ll need to fly enough flights to keep the status for the rest of the year. US Airways provides this service and it costs $215 dollars to be promoted to Silver status. If you fly 7500 miles during the next 3 months after enrollment, you will keep the Silver status. You can also get gold and platinum status if you fly 15,000 miles and 22,500 miles in the same 3 month time period. Chairman can be reached at 30,000 miles. This is a great way to get status so you can qualify for free upgrades, etc. without having to endure a lot of flight time, assuming you are actually flying enough to sustain the miles.
