• You know the feeling, the tingling excitement of
  a forthcoming business trip. You might daydream
  about how productive you will be during all that
  uninterrupted time, naively believing that you
  will get double the work done in half the time.
• 1. Let technology be your assistant
• Before you leave, decide which of your gadgets
  would serve best on the trip and pack
  accordingly.
• Make sure the gadgets you decide to bring, have
  access to reliable Wi-Fi. Also try to look for
  Wi-Fi availability at the hotel, conference
  center and meeting.
• If your smartphone or tablet can do the work,
  its time to lighten the load by dropping heavy
  gadgets. This will surely help focusing on the
  work at hand.

• 2. Tick off to-do items before you leave
• Book flight tickets and hotel rooms when you come
  to know you are going on the business trip. It
  would help to get the best deals save some
  much-required money in those initial stages of
  business. 
• 3. Lighten the load
• Long duration flights can be exhaustive and may
  reduce energy. Try to start by packing the right
  way. Do not check big bags unless required. Plan
  your outfits for each day of your trip, so you do
  not pack extremely.
• 4. Do not squander flight time
• One thing you can plan for is time on the plane
  when you are stuck in the seat. If you do not
  have the Wi-Fi connection, write emails, so they
  are ready to send, or work on something that has
  saved to the desktop. Planes are also perfect for
  practicing networking skills, such as initiating
  conversations, asking questions and listening.
