Your Pain-Free Logistical Guide to Making Training, Coaching and Motivational Events with Brian Norris Super Successful
Travel
Logistics
Airport specifics
Brian currently flies
from Midway Airport (MDW) or O'hare Airport (ORD). Where possible straight flights, with
the shortest air-time are preferred. Business class is preferred,
especially when traveling outside the continental US. If flying coach, please request an exit row or bulk head seat (Brian is 6'4 and has long legs that dislike cramped rows).
Brian generally arranges his own travel, which is invoiced separately, unless the client prefers to arrange the travel and direct-bill to their master account or credit card. Electronic ticketing is fine, as long as Brian receives a complete copy of his travel itinerary.
