Consultants are earning significantly more frequent flyer miles in 2011—as clear a sign as we've seen yet that the recovery is in full swing. The average consultant is now traveling 96 nights per year, up sharply from the last two years and almost all the way back to pre-downturn levels, according to two recent surveys conducted by Consulting magazine.

While the overall average number of travel days is up, the number of road warriors has remained largely unchanged. In 2010, 36 percent of consultants reported traveling at least three days per week. In 2011, 37 percent of consultants report spending at least half their work week on the road.
