Your Essential Checklist
A laptop
To get the most from your business trip, you need the best and the most suitable laptop for you. An ideal laptop for traveling comes with the following features;
· It is lightweight for easier movement from one place to another
· Long-lasting battery life
· Powerful CPU
· Good RAM
Portability
Portability is a major concern when you travel a lot and in different locations. Pack a lightweight business laptop. Check the dimensions and weight of a laptop under its technical specifications table.
Long-Lasting Battery
This is a crucial factor to consider when purchasing a laptop for business travel. You need to know how long you will be using your laptop without access to power. Some laptops can last 2 to 3 hours others can last for up to 17 hours.
If you will use your laptop a lot when on your business trip, consider buying one that can keep a charge for many hours.
Central Processing Unit and RAM
Consider CPU and RAM when buying a laptop for traveling. The CPU is the heart of your laptop. In that case, choose one that offers the best performance and this is possible if it has a Corei3, Core i5, or Corei7 processor.
Also, buy the fastest laptop that you can afford. The more RAM you have, the faster your laptop will be.
Phone charger and Power Bank
When packing for a work trip, make sure you have included your phone charger. It is easy to forget it especially if you are packing in a hurry or have not included it in your travel packing list.
It will turn out to be useful when you want to charge your phone on the plane or at the airport. Also, bring a car charger if you will rent one at your final destination. If it is possible, pack a power bank too.
It will provide power in times of need. Most power banks are small; hence, you do not need to worry about their weight and size.
Assemble your Plane Necessities
When traveling through a plane, you will need noise-canceling headphones, an eye mask, a travel pillow, a scarf, easily accessible toiletry, snacks and even socks.
A travel Pillow; will provide support for your neck on both long and short trips. The best travel neck molds the contour of your neck so you can sleep in a relaxed position. When buying one, try it on your neck to make sure it fits properly.
If it’s possible, buy one that can inflate so it can save you space when packing.
Eye Mask; this is one of the essentials for business trips. It eliminates light so you can sleep well on a plane.
Noise-canceling headphones; you should have one as it will tune out unnecessary noise made by other passengers.
With these plane essentials, you will be prepared for anything your business trip throws at you such as noisy plane neighbors, bad weather or even feeling hungry at the plane.
A Camera
Remember your camera when packing your bag. You can take advantage of your business trip by taking some photographs there, who knows if you will ever get back there?
In that case, carry a good camera that can take high-quality photos and videos along the way. A good camera will also enable you to capture the views and memories.
Purchasing a camera is a big deal. Consider these features so you can pick the best one for your needs;
· Lenses that you want to use; do you need a prime lens or a zoom lens? With a prime lens, you will need to come close to your subject if you want it to appear larger.
With a zoom lens, no need to come close to your object in order to see it clearly or take a large photo; you just zoom it in. Zoom lenses produce high-quality images.
· Image sensor; this is what captures the light from the subject you will be shooting. The 2 main sensors are APS-C and Micro Four Thirds. Micro Four Thirds is good for travelers because it is smaller compared to the bulky APS-C.
Clothes
Obviously, you will need clothes for your business trip. They need to be polished and look smart. Carry professional clothing for meetings, parties and even dinners if you will have them.
You can pack 1 or 2 suits, dresses, tops, bottoms, blazers, socks, underwear, bras and PJs.
