10 tips for business travel

1. Don't expect to get anywhere on time. Accept delays as the rule rather than the exception - you'll live longer.
2. Always print out and keep the confirmation of your seat booking just in case a computer goes down.
3. Whatever else you forget, don't forget your passport, cash/cards and medicine.
4. Always take your laptop as hand luggage, never check it into the hold.
5. If you're carrying or planning to buy anything which might break or leak, use a sealable bag. Take one with you anyway even if you have no plans to use it, you might make an unexpected purchase.
6. Take dark clothes, they'll look cleaner longer.
7. Tie something colourful around your bag or bag handle so it's easier to spot on the carousel.
8. Use Skype, and make sure your account has sufficient funds before you leave.
9. Take a network (Ethernet) cable with you, don't rely on the hotel having one.
10. If you have the opportunity to recharge your phone or laptop while waiting somewhere, do so.
