Business Travel Packing List

When going on a business trip, it´s important to consider the length of the trip. Will you be gone for just a few days or will the trip last longer? Find out the dress code for the event and put together your luggage accordingly.

Try to find a balance between packing just the essentials and over-stuffing your suitcase. You don´t want any unnecessary weight but at the same time nothing should be missing when you’re going on an important business trip. Don´t forget to check the weather forecast and average climate for your destination and adapt your packing list to it.

Remember that the same suit can be paired with different colored dress shirts or ties to create a new look when needed. To avoid extra work it´s a good idea to pack wrinkle free shirts. If you don´t own any consider wearing garments that might be more likely to wrinkle whilst you are on the road to or from your destination.
