The rise in technology has meant that much of the work we conduct with overseas partners and clients can happen digitally. And yet sometimes there is a need to be there in person to get a deal over the line, negotiate on an equal front or even provide great customer service when needed.
There’s a real science that comes with maintaining the hustle and bustle of your job whilst jet-setting on regular three to 20-hour flights for work.
From knowing how to be meeting-ready as soon as you hit the tarmac, to reducing stress and optimising time in the air. There are several travel hacks that your staff can implement to get the most out of their business trips.
We’ve helped businesses, big and small, to streamline their corporate travel arrangements to make corporate travel easy. Here are our favourite tips for frequent business travellers.
Have one go-to piece of luggage that is professional, easy to carry, and that can fit into carry-on. This will allow you to avoid the headache and time that comes with checking in and picking up luggage on a corporate trip. Having one piece of luggage that you use regularly will help you become more efficient with your packing.

When it comes to business travel, the more factors you can control, the better. Check the on-time performance of your airline before you book to reduce risks of unplanned delays. There is plenty of information readily available on the performance of your airline, so make sure you do your research.
If you want to get off the plane feeling fresh and ready for your big meeting, make sure you prepare a travel kit ahead of time. Create a pack you can easily grab for each trip containing things like:
Many businesses make the mistake of giving their admin team the job of organising everyone’s business travel, on top of their already hectic workloads. Business travel can be extremely beneficial when it goes smoothly. But it can also be fraught with complications. Getting the most out of your corporate travel really comes down to how prepared you are.
Handing over your business travel management to an experienced travel agency can take the stress and hassle out of managing corporate travel. It can also reduce costs lost to missed flights and your internal staff member’s time. Plus it ensures you get the most out of every trip.
