Best of Business Traveller

Richard Quest grabs some sleep while he can -- before heading off to yet another timezone.

(CNN) -- In August, from the Farnborough Airshow in England, CNN Business Traveller takes a trip down memory lane with the best features from the past year.

Long haul

First up is the record attempt to fly around the world -- the long way round!

Last November, Richard Quest was one of the 35 journalists invited to be part of the world's longest flight onboard Boeing's 777-200LR, starting from Hong Kong and crossing the finish line in London. Did they break the record?

Sleeping on the job

More often than not, the bane of business travel is coping with jet lag, fighting your body clock to get some of that precious shut-eye. We discovered how sleep deprivation affects productivity levels when we sent Richard Quest across 15 time zones, from London to Los Angeles and on to Tokyo -- in the space of five days.

Eco-traveling

These days, everyone's keen to reduce the harm they cause to the environment. Business travelers are no exception, though they come in for a lot of criticism for the amount of carbon dioxide emissions they generate by flying around the world. As Richard Quest tracks his carbon footprint -- and discovers his food had traveled further than he had -- we show you how to make your travels carbon-neutral.

From August, Business Traveller has two new sections:

Countdown to the superjumbo

The A380 has had a bumpy ride so far and we have been there all the way. The world's largest passenger plane made its debut at the Farnborough Airshow in England, giving its first public flying display. CNN Business Traveller will keep you updated with key developments running up to its entry into service at the beginning of next year. Read more at our online feature

Now you know

We invite viewers to send us a question -- not a whinge but a question --concerning business travel issues and we get the answer from experts or the companies involved. This month, we examine when passengers can use their mobile phones after landing. Do you have a travel problem? We'll find an expert to answer it. Send your travel questions to us at businesstraveller@cnn.com.

Escape

Throughout the year, CNN Business Traveller has tried to showcase places you can go to relax; somewhere you can truly switch off. When we went to western Canada, we found peace and quiet -- the eco-lodge was indeed the perfect place to escape.
