work, and then the most important -packing your bag. And all this while you worrying preparing

for the presentation or deal. The worst part comes when, after all the preparedness; you still feel

that you are forgetting something.

All you need is to relax and focus on the points to make this situation batter. This can be

achieved by keeping a positive attitude. This will also help you to not forget things. Also when

you are in happy mood, chances are that you get better responses wherever you go. You might

be lucky to get free travel upgrades, special services and friendly smiles all the way. Prevent

yourself from being the part of the crowd you see at the airport; always in hurry and panic.

Maintain your happy demeanors and try to enjoy the moment.

There are certain tips that would help in managing your trip efficiently, making your business

travel enjoyable.

1. Pack ‘only required’ items. The best way to do this is to make a checklist before

starting to pack. This will help you to keep all the necessary items including things you

would need for your meetings, such as files and documents. Also, by making the

checklist you will not keep the unnecessary items. A small luggage bag will help you to

not check-in the baggage and carry it along in the flight, thus saving time by not waiting

to collect the baggage when you land.

Do advance bookings. Start with the online check-in facility provided by all airline

services, using which you could book your seat in advance. You will not be required to

stand in a long queue at the airport, saving ample time. Mostly for business travel, the

hotel room booking is already taken care of by your company but it is recommended to

confirm the booking and know about the room before leaving to enjoy a hassle free and

comfortable accommodation.

What all to pack. If you are going on a business tour it is most important to be well-

dressed. For this, make sure that you keep your formal wear for all the days that you

have to stay and conduct your meetings. For example, men should keep their business

suits, planned for each day. Also keep a lightweight casual or night wear that does not

make your luggage too heavy.

2. Organizing your baggage. You do not want to spend an hour searching your pen drive,

which happens most of the times. The easiest solution for this is to properly organize

your things in your bag so that you exactly know here they are kept. It is advisable to

keep your chargers and connectors or other portable devices in your laptop bag, where

you can easily find them. Also check beforehand that you have kept the right devices to

prevent those panic attacks when you realize that you have got the wrong plug

converter.

3. Stay connected through wireless. One of the most helpful things without which we

cannot survive is the internet. Especially on a business travel, you would need it all the

time. Therefore, ensure your mobile has a good internet connection. If not, get one. You

cannot rely on the hotel’s services, so it is important to have your own device that could

provide you a hassle free internet connection all the time.

4. At the Airport.The first step of your business travel is to reach your airport for

departure. If you keep in mind few things, you could have a convenient journey. One

common thing is to choose the right security line, which of course is shortest one. Scan

the area for a second once you reach, and attentively the fastest moving or shortest one.

You could also avoid lines that have families with children or people with large number of

heavy baggage. It might sound mean, but it actually saves a lot of time for the check-in.

Another point is to ensure a comfortable stay when you are in the air, not only for

yourself but for your fellow passengers as well. Keep your book, reading material or iPod

handy, so that you are not required to get up again and again to take it out from the

luggage compartments, which disturbs the other passengers a lot.

5. Take care of your health.Unlike a leisure trip, your business travel demands you to be in

discipline. For this, you need to maintain a routine by taking proper sleep and food. Try to

have your meals on time and take the required amount of sleep, so that you look fresh and

are able to make a good impression in your meetings. Especially on the day you reach your

destination, take proper rest to start afresh. And when you do not have a day to rest when

you reach, use the time of your travel to take a nap and stay relaxed. Also try not to have

alcohol or food that’s too heavy on the stomach.

If you take care of the above mentioned points, chances of your trip to be successful is going to

be very high. Also do not forget that travelling, whether it’s for work is leisure, is always about

meeting people. Things will get much easy for you if you thank everyone involved in your trip,

starting from the one who scheduled your trip to the one who did your hotel arrangements, by

praising for their efforts. This way you are not only helping in maintaining your positive attitude

but at the same time also ensure that every time you travel, people remember to help you

promptly.

Business travels are mostly not about relaxing but being prepared, and that is what you need to

focus on from start till end. If you are a frequent traveler, it is also recommended to always keep

a bag ready which includes all your essentials, so that even in a short notice, you are ready to

go. Look for a comfortable accommodation, which would help you keep calm, relaxed and

healthy and ensure a successful trip.
