Packing smart is a key essential to successful business travels. Whether your doing a quick overnighter or staying a few days, making sure you’re packing smart can make a big difference in the ease of being prepared and having what you need. Here are a few tips that we feel will help you in packing smart.

 

Make a packing list.

The old saying, “a fail to plan is a plan to fail”, even holds when it comes to packing smart. Plan for the trip by first making a list of the essentials you need and what clothing you will necessary for the trip. For instance weather, length of stay, types of business meetings (casual or business attire) will be factors in determining exactly what you need. The best part is that once you make the list for the first time you can re-use it for other trips and then adjust depending on the details of your future business trips.

 

Keep it simple.

Don’t overpack for your trip. I know it is tempting to pack lots of options, but the more you pack the more you have to manage and tote around. Once again, it goes back to making a packing list and planning out the clothing you need during your trip. Having outfits that serve a dual-purpose which can be dressed up or down depending on what your agenda is for the day ahead will benefit you with ease and as well take up less room in your luggage.

 

Here are a couple quick tips for packing smart.

  • Keep the wrinkles out of your clothes by simply rolling your clothes and not folding them up.
  • Pack your liquids in Zip-lock bags so your belongings are protected if an item leaks.
  • For carry-ons make sure you follow TSA’s 3-1-1 rule when it comes to liquids.
  • Pack your electronics in a single layer so that TSA can easily recognize them upon security check. This will help you from getting held up.
  • If you have a carry-on and a check-in luggage make sure you pack small sample size items in your carry-on. This will help you if your main luggage gets lost and still gives you have what you need to survive. Make sure to include one outfit so you have a change of clothes and underwear.
  • Email all your trip information to yourself to have on your smartphone and/or laptop, as well as printing them out. This way you will have all your flight, car rental and hotel information easily accessible.
  • Before you leave, verify all your details so that you’re not met with any surprises once your underway. This includes checking on things like flight departure, hotel reservations, dinner reservations and car rentals.
  • Know your airlines baggage policy so you’re not met with extra fees at check-in.
  • Check out the TSA website for more travel tips for getting through security fast and efficient.
