What to Pack for Travel: The Essentials of Business Travel Packing
Knowing what to pack for travel can make for a
smooth transition from one work location to the next. The
essentials of business travel packing take into consideration
all of the possible events that you may need to attend while
also realizing that 'free' nights may not always mean that you
can sit in your hotel room in your pajamas.
The influence of professional appearance is something that can
not be denied in the work setting. You will be taken more
seriously if you take the time to consider what to pack for
travel for your business. You may want to ask your boss what the
appropriate attire is. This will only show that you are
interested in making the right impression. For
women, business travel packing can present a bit more of a
dilemma. In the case of a more formal dinner meeting, a woman
will need to have a dress available, along with shoes and
accessories. A man will normally have already brought a suit, so
an additional shirt and tie are all that is needed. Even if the
evening seems to be more casual, it never hurts to consider the
influence of professional appearance and overdress for the
occasion. So, let's start off with the basics
of what to pack for travel. Depending on the days that you will
be gone at this meeting or conference, you will need to have
appropriate outfits for each event. For meetings, you will want
to bring something that is comfortable to sit in, but also
appropriate for business. A trick to lighten your suitcase is to
bring only a few pairs of slacks or skirts, but multiple shirts
that will match. This trick in business travel packing will
allow you to have many different combinations that will appear
to be different outfits all together. Keeping
your clothes looking as though they didn't come out of a
suitcase is also an essential part in the lesson of what to pack
for travel. Clothes can be come wrinkled, so you may want to
bring a clothes steamer, or in an emergency a bottle of
something that will lessen the wrinkles (Wrinkle Away). These
sprays are great for cotton shirts that never seem to stay flat.
You just spray this on the night before and smooth away the
wrinkles as it hangs on a hanger. By the time that its dry
the
next day, you will have a freshly 'pressed' shirt.
In terms of shoes, you will find that they are the
heaviest addition to your suitcase, but also an important part
of the influence of professional appearance. To compromise for
what to pack for travel, you should bring a pair of work shoes,
a pair of dressier shoes, as well as a pair of tennis shoes. By
doing this, you will be wearing one of the pairs on the trip to
the conference or meeting, so your suitcase will only need to
house two pairs. A question that many business men and women ask
when trying to decide what to pack for travel is whether or not
they need to bring their laptops computers. Either they want to
be able to check in at the office, or they want to use the
computer for taking notes at the seminars. Not only is it risky
to bring your computer along with you because of theft, but it
really won't be necessary unless you've been instructed to do
so. Most of your time will be taken up with meetings and
dinners, so any free time that you do have might be better spent
on sleep. Take this trip to 'unplug' and you'll arrive back at
your office educated and relaxed. Grooming and
toiletry items are standard on a list of what to pack for
travel, but if you should forget any of the essentials, most
hotels can provide you with whatever you may be missing. A few
minor things to consider: If you are traveling in the winter,
you may find that static cling is rampant. For women, you will
notice this with dresses and skirts. To combat this, you can
bring a fabric softener sheet and rub it on the affected area or
a can of static spray (Static Stop). And if you're a fan of
black pants and skirts, a lint brush (Carry Along Lint Brush) or
some tape can help put the final touches-or rather, take them
away-on your outfit for the day or evening.
