Business travelers waste untold billions of dollars each year waiting. Waiting in airport security lines. Waiting in customs and immigration lines. Waiting between connecting flights. So just how much time do we wait and waste?

Looking forward to the Big Game weekend? Check out our travel stats and figures for gameday.

Blacklane was awarded Best Ground Transportation Company at the Business Travel Awards on Monday night.
