A business trip has a job to do, so the packing and planning are different from a holiday. The aim is to arrive rested, look the part, and have everything you need for the meeting without fuss.

The work essentials

  • Laptop, charger, and any adapters — plus a power bank for the day.
  • Meeting materials, business cards, a notebook.
  • A smart outfit packed to minimise creasing (roll it or use a garment folder).
  • Digital and printed copies of your itinerary and confirmations.

Arrive sharp

  • Book travel that gets you in with buffer time, not a mad dash to the meeting.
  • Hang your outfit up the moment you arrive; steam creases out with a hot shower if needed.
  • Plan the route to the meeting the night before — know the address and travel time.

Traveling to interview instead?

The same rules apply, dialled up. Look rested, arrive early, and know exactly where you're going before the day starts.

Checklist
