When packing for business trip, how can you fit a week\u2019s worth of items into a single, handy carry-on container?<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Tips for Packing Light<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pick the right bag(s).<\/strong><br \/>\nSpace-efficient items that fold such as sunglass, or pack flat such as specially designed totes, carefully positioned into well-designed carry on luggage such as the Travelpro Crew 11, Briggs &amp; Riley Baseline Domestic, and similar soft-sided 21-22-inch wheeled carry-ons, ensure optimal use of space, easy check-in, security screening and\u00a0navigation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know neutrals are your friend.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen selecting clothing, remember: Black goes with everything, and khaki comes in a close second. Adopting a mix-and-match travel wardrobe with neutrals can help you make the most out of limited suitcase space. Stick to the \u2018five-of-each\u2019 policy: 5 shirts\/pants\/undies\/socks\/etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pack space efficient pieces.<\/strong><br \/>\nChoose lightweight items that aren&#8217;t bulky, including pieces that do double-duty. Notorious space hogs, pack a max of 2 shoes: 1 multitasking pair for business, 1 comfy pair for workouts\/outings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Never check your bag.<\/strong><br \/>\nAvoid checking your bag whenever possible. This greatly speeds up travel, allowing you to walk right off the plane, skip the long wait at the baggage claim, and go right into a meeting or hotel. Carrying on not only minimizes hassle, but saves money, making this practice not only convenient, but among top\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/corporate-travel-management-solutions\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/corporate-travel-management-solutions\">corporate expense management solutions<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Used \u2018checked bag money\u2019 for laundry services.<\/strong><br \/>\nIt may be a little pricey, but it\u2019ll help get you through with minimal clothing.

Call the hotel in advance, leaving complimentary toiletries like shampoo, soap, and toothpaste behind when these are provided as part of your stay. Likewise, keep cosmetics lean. You\u2019re not on the runway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pair down electronics.<\/strong><br \/>\nChargers and cords can take up a lot of room, and electronics pose a significant theft risk. Unless you absolutely can\u2019t live without it, try to pair down electronics to 1-2 essential items, leaving the rest at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do save space for things you love.<\/strong><br \/>\nSuch as a book, magazine, or Kindle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do bring backups of essentials.<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/\">Corporate travel agents<\/a>\u00a0will be quick to tell you, you can never have too many high-res copies of your driver\u2019s license, passport, visa, and credit cards on the SD card of your phone or computer.
