Packing for Business Trips

by Teresa Valdez Klein on July 17, 2006

Owen N. Wild has a few packing tips for business travelers in this month’s Fast Company.

My favorites:

  • Refer to your schedule when you’re figuring out what to pack and try to pack items that can do double duty for more than one event on your list.
  • Roll up socks, stockings and other small items inside your shoes to save on packing space.
  • Make it a habit to take a little extra time to pack. Never leave it to the last minute.
  • For long trips, ship stuff ahead so you don’t have to lug it through the airport.

I am queen of shipping stuff ahead and back home. I have sent clothes, shoes, books, binders and folders for my job all through the mail to make sure they would not get lost if my luggage went missing and so that I didn’t have to carry it. I even ship home clothes and shoes that I have worn so I can lighten the load when I get back to my walk up.
