  2.  Call 877.593.5403 So your company is sending you to London – fantastic! Right? Well, it depends on how prepared you are for the experience. If you are an ordinary business traveler, you can expect to be sent on a short, possibly overnight, stay.

  3.  Call 877.593.5403 You will probably be taking the red-eye flight, and in all likelihood, there will be a 6:00 am meeting with the executives of the partner company ready to judge you based on their first impression as you walk in the door. Here are some tips:

  4.  Call 877.593.5403 • Pack light. • Wear very comfortable business attire onto the plane (ladies, this means the lowest heeled pumps you can find), fit any necessary toiletries in your briefcase, and carry your already pressed suit in hand. Do not bother packing shampoo, because it and other such items will be provided by your hotel.

  5.  Call 877.593.5403 Bring the chargers for all your electronic devices – Blackberry, Bluetooth, laptop and IPad. When you arrive, have the hotel launder your travelling clothes while you wear your suit, and return home in the same outfit you wore the day before.

  6.  Call 877.593.5403 2.Streamline the experience. Find out how much it costs to upgrade to the special membership option of the airlines you will be using.

  7.  Call 877.593.5403 Wear slip on shoes for the security checkpoint. If you have a laptop, remove it from your briefcase before you reach the conveyor belt. Have all your travelling documents in an easily accessible location at all times.

  8.  Call 877.593.5403 • Know what awaits you. • Will someone be picking you up from the airport or will you be expected to rent a car? Will your company be booking your hotel or are you expected to handle that detail ? • Make reservations in advance, have confirmation and phone numbers written down and available.

  9.  Call 877.593.5403 Will you be using a company credit card or will you be reimbursed for your expenses? In either case, get a receipt for every single transaction (that includes your Starbucks coffee) and keep them in the same secure location.

  10.  Call 877.593.5403 4. Be prepared. If you are going to be travelling for more than five days, you will want to consider purchasing travel insurance. Generally, your regular health insurance plan will not cover expenses incurred out of the country.
