How to travel like a boss

If there's anyone who has mastered the art and science of business travel, it's Lee Arnold, executive chairman of Colliers International Florida. Arnold travels across Florida and the United States, even to some international locations such as the Bahamas, in his own aircraft, a Beechcraft Baron.

Not only does he travel in the plane, he pilots it himself. Arnold, 67, has been flying since he was 15. He got his pilot's license at 16 and his commercial license at 18, and he worked as a flight instructor and charter pilot before getting involved in commercial real estate.

Arnold continues to fly his own plane to meetings a couple of times a week. But when he's not in the cockpit and has to fly commercial airlines, he flies business class, without fail — and makes no apologies for it.
