How to pack for a business trip
It’s especially important to travel light during business trips because typically you have little free time available between work and sightseeing. So you don’t want to squander valuable time on managing luggage.
Do as much preparation and research as you can before your trip to help save time. Outline a plan of what you would like to see before you get there. If you have limited time, go for the must-see places first. Use your time wisely; go sightseeing before dinner or during a lunch break, eat while you tour around, etc. Try combining elements of your pleasure trip with your business trip so you can deduct part of your journey from your taxes.
Quick Business List:
- Maintain a bag ready to go with the essentials so you can get up and go quickly.
- Pack light. Use some of the previously mentioned suggestions in the packing section.
- Avoid checking bags since these trips may be short. You don’t want to waste time waiting for lost or delayed luggage.
- Bring items that can be used up while on your trip so the empty space can be filled on the way back with things you are bringing home.
- Make sure you are getting miles for as many aspects of your trip as you can: rental cars, meals, tickets, and all purchases.
