Alison Frusher

My fascination with travel began at just eight years old, after I was gifted a doll dressed in a British Airways uniform. Not quite tall enough to be cabin crew, I ventured to Bournemouth to study travel and tourism before seeking out a career as a travel agent and eventually migrating to the world of business travel.

Then came ten years spent working on corporate accounts for the likes of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, organising the private travel arrangements for the renowned British ornithologist Sir Peter Scott, and even working in a power station while managing the travel office of Magnox Electrics following the fallout of the Chernobyl Disaster. I joined Steppes Travel in 2003 after the birth of my children, where I spent a decade as Travel Support for our knowledgeable Americas & Polar Team. I then spent a span of time in the Operations Team, before channelling my notorious flights expertise into my current role of Air Product Manager. When not working with our Travel Experts on unique flight routes, booking the best seats for our family travellers, or on worldwide jaunts of my own, you will find me near a collection of model planes within arms reach of a hot coffee.
