Business travel in 2010 will match or surpass last year's levels and more executives will be opting for first class seats, according to a survey.

"We're seeing that business travel clients continue to book the same level of hotel accommodations as in the past, but we're also seeing a noteworthy percentage of Travel Leaders business travel experts indicating a fair number of their clients are now starting to fly in business or in first class," said Roger E. Block, the president of Travel Leaders Franchise Group.
