Traveling for business is either enjoyable or a hassle, there’s rarely an in-between. We understand how frustrating it is to be away from home on a trip you’re required to experience per orders from work. It’s less enjoyable than traveling with your spouse or kids on a fun family vacation since you’ll be working, networking, and keeping even longer hours away from home than you do at home. Our Orange County ground transportation company understands the struggle of being away from home while here on business, and we appreciate your hard work. It’s why we not only provide the best chauffeurs, the most luxurious vehicles, and the most professional service but also tips for making the most of your business travel experience.
Pain Reliever and Water
Take it from us when we say that travel makes it very easy to become dehydrated. It’s our advice you drink as much water as possible, and you take two pain reliever pills when you board your flight. We don’t encourage drug use in any way, shape, or form but studies show with the increased risk of dehydrated associated with flying, headaches that turn into migraines are far more common in the air. By taking two pain relievers and drinking a bottle of water prior to take-off, you minimize your risk of suffering a debilitating headache. Drinking another bottle of water every two hours during your flight is also helpful in preventing illness while traveling.
Check Your Attitude and Expectations At the Door
We get that traveling for business means working long hours at conferences or someone else’s office. The surroundings are unfamiliar, the hours are different, and you’re probably attending dinners, lunches, and after-hours events in addition to your work responsibilities. It’s long hours and days, and it’s tiring. Rather than viewing your business trip as a negative due to the lack of sleep, uncomfortable hotel beds, and strange surroundings, view it as an experience. Taking the high road and viewing your business travels as an experience or adventure prior to departure can change your entire experience.
Challenge yourself to learn something new, to network with people who might be able to improve your future, and to gain as much as you can out of this trip. If you can manage to squeeze in a little time for yourself to hit the hotel gym or spa, do that.
Carry a Carry-On
It’s a pain to carry a bag onto any flight, but it’s worth it if your luggage is lost or delayed. Pack everything you need for one or two nights in your carry-on so you’re good to go if the worst does occur. Oftentimes there isn’t time right away to go shopping for an entire new wardrobe for an early meeting, so this eliminates serious stress.
