Business travel can seem glamorous to some. And it’s easy to see why with the hotels, flights, and meals all being expensed. Who wouldn’t want to be a jetsetter like our Self Park FLL business travelers? Well, what most people don’t realize is that it can all get really tedious. You’re packing a bag over and over again, spending hours in airport security, and you may only be gone for a night or two each time. The longer you travel for business the less excited you may become at the thought of an upcoming trip. See what 5 items you may be missing that can make your business trips easier, more productive, and frankly, more enjoyable.
Noise Cancelling Headphones
The amount of noise when you travel is unbelievable. Our Self Park FLL business travelers don’t go anywhere without a pair of noise cancelling headphones. When you have a pair you’re able to drown out background noise on the plane and can use that time to sleep or prepare for your meeting. They are really instrumental in helping you make the most of your time.
TSA PreCheck
If you just found out that you’ll be traveling for work, start your application for TSA PreCheck today. No one wants to stand around waiting to get through airport security, especially when you’re flying as much as a business traveler. Invest the $85 to get PreCheck for 5 years or opt for Global Entry if any of your trips will be international. For more information about each program, read more here.
Rewards Credit Card
There’s no reason to not rack up the free points when you’re traveling for work. There are two types of reward cards out there. One is a dedicated airline credit card. These tend to offer more perks when you fly like upgrades, free checked bags, priority boarding, and lounge access. You’ll only be able to redeem your points with that airline. If your airport is a hub for a major airline check out their reward cards. If you like to score the best flights no matter what airline it’s on, a rewards card from American Express or Chase might be the better choice. These give you major points on travel purchases and more freedom to redeem, although perks like free checked bags and priority boarding might not be included.
WiFi Hot Spot
Airport and hotel WiFi can be spotty. When you’re traveling for work you need to be connected at anytime. Invest in an international WiFi hotspot you can take anywhere. There are portable devices that can connect you with or without a contract. Just be sure to pick the plan that’s right for you.
Portable Lock
Business traveling usually means you’re traveling alone. There’s nothing worse than finally getting a table at Starbucks just to have to use the restroom or get up to take a call. Keep your spot and your computer secure with a portable lock. You won’t have to worry about asking a stranger to look after your things or packing up everything when you need to get up. A portable lock saves time and provides our Self Park FLL business travelers with peace of mind.
