<strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small; padding: 0in;">Get a carry-on sized bag:</span></strong></h2>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most business travellers stick to using carryon luggage only. It saves time and reduces the risk of losing your luggage. It is extremely uncomfortable to arrive at your business destination without your work clothes. You don’t have to check your luggage in or wait for it at the other end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Clothing:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "bell mt" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A business traveller’s wardrobe tends to be a lot more conservative. Accessories and catchy outfits are kept at a minimum. A number of factors affect the type and amount of clothing you will need for a trip, stick to packing appropriate business attire that can also play a double role for both meetings and dining out and stick with just a few casual outfits for your free time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Packing:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "bell mt" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The best packing method for your carryon luggage is the Bundle Wrapping Method. You will be surprised by how much of your outfits will be able to fit into your carryon luggage. Roll softer fabric and fold stiffer fabrics. You can also use garment carrier bags when travelling with suits. Ensure you pack and arrange your items strategically, it saves you valuable time and hassle when going through security.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep your travel documents organized and in as safe place while travelling. Travel organizers are perfect for storing your travel documents while on the move. Extra copies of your travel documents should be kept separately at all times as you are likely to need some of these items for your journey:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ensure that your carryon luggage allows you easy access to your laptop, as you have to remove it from your bag when going through airport security. Every business traveller takes a small mobile office along on trips. This includes your mobile phone, laptop, iPad and charger, e-book reader, extension cord or plug Adaptor. Invest in good quality wheeled carryon luggage for business travels, it helps you stay organized and makes it easier for you to work while travelling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
