Hi Everyone,
I am a final year Industrial Design student and am currently working on my final major project. I am focusing on creating a new and exciting piece of cabin/hand luggage for Millennial Business Travellers.
However, I am having trouble finding people within my target market to speak to. If anybody falls into this category, would you be able to answer some questions and give your opinion based on your business travel experiences? (Older business travellers are also welcome to comment!)
Any feedback is going to help massively with my research!
If you fancy a private chat, just drop me an email at rory.mcdonald@northumbria.ac.uk
Thanks, Rory

10. There seems to be a recent trend with younger business travellers taking 'Bleisure' trips - (Mixing Leisure activities and days with work on Business Trips). Is this something that you usually do? If yes, what kind of Leisure things do you do on Business trips?
