When travelling on a business trip there are a few differences from when you would travel with your family. The first tip would be to just travel with one case which you can carry on the plane with you each time you make your way to the airport. This is the best way to go as you do not have time to sort through claims for lost luggage and lost time spent on filling out claims. When you first start to travel purchase two suitcases which are of good quality meaning you will always have one spare if anything happens to the other.
A good saving tip is to stock up on little pieces of toiletries which you can buy from the local shops. You can stock up on their buy one get one free offers which always seems to be in abundance these days. By spliting your items into both cases equally this means that at any one time you are ready to go as your case will be already packed saving you time and also money not needing to purchase last minute items for your trip.
You might think women have a business trip a little bit easier than a man as they can pack different items to smarten up their suits such as adding a nice piece of jewellery or perhaps adding a dressy scarf any of this can be a delight to your wardrobe.
Nearly all business people will select a plane as their mode of transport. Journeys of less than 4 hours may be better going by train as most trains now have WiFi and you can continue working while travelling so on arrival you can sit back and relax knowing that you have completed a days work while travelling.
Think about travelling by air can be a bit of a miss match as your check-in time to the airline is normally 2 hour or 3 hours before take off not forgetting all the standing around in security lines, Just add up all the time differences to see which one suits your journey best.
One last tip is to travel and stay in a hotel which accommodates office and business travellers. There is nothing worse than arriving at a hotel then discovering that there is no fax machine or computer or printer and no internet connection.
Make sure you have mobile phone connection if you land in a new country. Checking with your cell phone supplier is always a good idea before travel as you do not want to be left high and dry with no one to contact back home.
