What You Should Pack for a Business Trip

Head home because it’s time to pack for your upcoming business trip. Wait, you’re telling us that you’ve never been on a business trip before? Don’t panic -- you’ve come to the right blog! We know exactly what you should pack for your first business trip.

Luggage

Before you can pack you need to know what type of luggage to bring. The longer the trip, the larger the suitcase should be. Opt for one with rollers as this will make navigation through the airport a breeze. A standard 22-inch suitcase is perfect for a trip that will only last a few days. If this trip is only for one night, you can get away with a smaller tote or duffel bag.

Clothing

Suit jackets tend to take up a lot of space in your suitcase. To save space, wear one of your jackets as a blazer when you travel. If you’re worried about wrinkles, your hotel will have an iron that you can use to steam them out. Try to pack a few different dress shirts, preferably wrinkle-free to make packing and getting dressed less of a hassle. Don’t forget to bring extra clothes for the gym, a casual night out, and to sleep in!

Business Items

Since this is a business trip, don’t forget to bring a shoulder bag that can carry important work items. You will need your laptop, phone, tablet, and any important work documents in arms reach at all times since you will be away from the office. Having your cell phone and its charger on hand is the most important, especially if your work VoIP phone is forwarding calls to you.

Business trips are sometimes a necessary part of business and it’s best to be properly prepared and packed for them. If your business needs a VoIP phone system to forward calls to employees out of the office, contact Reliable Voice & Data Systems.
