road warrior
Constant flight passenger
A road warrior is someone who travels frequently for work, typically a business professional who spends much of their time in airports, hotels, and rental cars.
The term carries connotations of endurance and adaptability—surviving the grind of constant travel: After twenty years as a road warrior, she finally got a desk job.
Road warriors develop expertise in loyalty programs, flight connections, and working from anywhere.
