Going on a long trip can be very, very tedious. You need to know what to pack, how to fit it all in a suitcase, your itinerary, and your travel arrangements. If you're going on a business trip, this can be made even more nerve wracking. Here's how to properly pack your bags for a business trip. The very first thing you need to do is make sure you are using quality luggage. A bag that suits your aesthetics and also your suits! Make sure that the luggage is lightweight when it is empty. Most designer luggage is designed a little heavier and you want to make sure that you keep a suitcase that is less than 15 pounds when it is empty. When your luggage is lighter, it's easier to fit into the overhead storage bins on airplanes. To make it easier to maneuver through the airport, make sure your luxury luggage has wheels! Speaking of maneuvering through the airport, keep all of your items that need to be placed on the conveyor belt at the top of your bag. This includes all of your toiletries. Nothing over 3 ounces! Keep all of them in a see through Ziploc baggie and put them on the top of your clothes. If you're worried about leaks and spills, squeeze a little of the air out of the containers and seal them tightly. This will allow for air pressure changes. Also, to save space use items that are multi-purpose like moisturizer that also has sunscreen and shampoo/conditioner combinations. Another way to make it easy for your bag to be searchable and not ruined afterwards is to use something called a packing cube. This will make your life a lot easier should the TSA decide you are on the random search list! It makes it easy to see the contents of your bag and when rifled through, does not make it impossible to repack. There are numerous ways to fold and pack a suit that will keep it from wrinkling. A good rule of thumb is to wear your suit coat instead of packing it and letting the wrinkles hang out overnight. The type of fabric you wear and pack makes a big difference. Try to find "wrinkle free" cotton or tropical-weight wool. These fabrics do not wrinkle easily and are able to be worn many times without noticeable wear and tear! That means you only have to pack two pairs of pants for that weekend business trip! Makes life easier for your luxury luggage!
