Business Traveling

By Tammy R Scott.

 Being called away on business can be very stressful especially when you have to make your own travel plans. The last thing you need when business traveling is to find out that your luggage has been lost. If you are only going away for a few days, with careful planning you can avoid this from happening by packing everything you need into your carry on bag.


The first thing you will need to do is check the weather forecast for the area you will be visiting. If you know it will be cold then you should plan to wear the same jacket on your flight that you will need when you get to your destination. Pack thin clothes that can be layered rather than bulky clothes. Bring clothes with you that are the least amount of care and made from wrinkle free materials. By rolling your undergarments, ties and socks you will make more room for other articles. Also try to pick outfits that will require you to only have to bring one pair of shoes. Business men who wear suits could use the same jacket then they would only have to bring a couple pairs of slacks and a few shirts along with underwear and socks.

You should do some research before you make your reservations to find out what is in the area of where you are visiting and where you want to be located. If you will not have a vehicle to drive when you get there you will want to find a place close to where you will be working. Or you might have some free time and would like to be in an area where you could see the sights. You might also want to be near restaurants. Most hotels offer room service which is nice when you are too tired from a long day of working to get out, but this can be very expensive.

When booking your hotel find out if there is high-speed Internet in your room if it's a requirement for you. You should also ask if there is shuttle service or if you will be required to hire a taxi or rent a car when traveling to and from the airport and hotel. Take the time to find out all the necessary information before leaving and you will have a stress free business trip.
