Business travel can be hectic; add in the holidays, and traveling can be an absolute nightmare. If you're unable to avoid traveling during the holidays, here are ten-holiday business trip suggestions to make your traveling experience smoother.
Expect the unexpected. If your flight is delayed or canceled, it's easier to reschedule a flight knowing that you have all of your personal items with you and not stowed away in another place.
Usually, airports are least congested at times when most people are nested comfortably in their beds. Delays are less likely to happen for morning flights, and if you do encounter an issue with your initially scheduled itinerary, you'll have options later in the day. That’s a win-win for sure.
Self-service systems in online travel can be a huge time-saver, especially during peak travel times. When possible, print your boarding passes at home or use your smartphone. Consider applying for TSA PreCheck, which allows you to skip those long security lines.
Cash is still king. Nothing gets things moving quicker than money in-hand, especially when credit card systems are down and cards can't be accepted, you'll be able to grab a coffee or bite to eat.
Flights can be delayed or canceled for a myriad of reasons. That's why it's essential to have a backup plan. If you're traveling for an important meeting or attending a conference in November and December, try arraigning your flight for two days before the event. Also, you should always have a backup plan in place. For instance, business travelers should take advantage of the most flexible hotel option they can find. While the package may cost more, in the event of a cancellation or missed trip, you won't lose out on all your money.
