FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Frequent flyers are invited to compete to win American Way's coveted Road Warrior^® title and prizes by sharing their travel stories.

"With our annual Road Warrior^® Contest, we invite readers to tell us their stories and reveal how they manage their busy lives. These extraordinary people inspire us every year."
