For instance, deciding to pick up a powerful fast charger before your trip can be hugely helpful for quickly charging up in the car, at your hotel or anyplace else where you only have a few minutes but require a battery boost.
That said, if you pack your carryon bag thoughtfully, your business trip can be a much more pleasurable experience. To help you have a better business trip the next time you travel, here are eight lifesaver items to bring along.
1. Comfortable Dress Shoes
Professional attire can often be restrictive and uncomfortable, which means it is often unconducive to traveling. Therefore, bringing along a comfortable pair of shoes is an essential part of traveling for work, particularly since you are going to do more walking than you normally would at home.
However, this doesn’t mean you are relegated to sneakers, slippers or crocs. Instead, purchase a pair of comfortable dress shoes so you can maintain your professional appearance while still giving your feet a break.
2. Portable Chargers
A premium portable charger is pretty much a mandatory travel accessory at this point, even if you aren’t traveling for work. However, when traveling for business, it is particularly important as conference calls, emails and a variety of business-oriented apps can drain your battery quite quickly.
By packing a portable charger, you can ensure that your devices are always charged up and ready to answer the next business email or phone call from the kids.

3. An International Travel Adapter
If you are heading out of the country for a meeting, you will still need your devices to be powered up at all times. However, many countries have different types of power outlets, meaning your standard charger isn’t likely to work.
This means an international travel adapter is a smart thing to have on hand. Since you are unlikely to remember all the different kinds of outlets each country requires, it is best to simply purchase one that covers a multitude of countries.
Fortunately, there are great travel adapters on the market today.
4. Wireless Earbuds
While over-ear headphones are often more comfortable for long periods and can produce better sound quality, you have limited space in your carryon bag. Therefore, packing some high-quality Bluetooth earbuds is going to be a better bet.
Given that you are going to be on a plane for hours at a time, having some earbuds is essential, as they will let you listen to music, watch videos or movies or even take important phone calls without having to hold your phone.
5. A Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard
Depending on how light you are looking to travel, you might not be too excited about bringing your laptop. If that is the case, then you might want to bring along a foldable Bluetooth keyboard instead.
When compared to a laptop, these little gadgets are going to be lighter and take up less space but still allow you to get work done by connecting to your tablet or phone.
The compromise to be made is that the keys are extremely close together, so your typing might not be as smooth as usual.
6. A Good Travel Pillow
Airplanes are not the most comfortable of places to sleep. You can make it a bit more enjoyable by getting yourself a nice travel pillow.

Fortunately, there are plenty of great travel pillows that come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate your needs and help you have the most comfortable journey possible.
7. A Small Bottle of Hand Sanitizer
Untold sums of people move through airports, hotels, rideshare vehicles and all of the other places you are sure to find yourself while on a business trip. Because of the sheer volume of foot traffic in these places, it is wise to bring along a small bottle of hand sanitizer to keep yourself healthy.
According to the TSAs guidelines on hand sanitizer, passengers can bring a 3.4-ounce bottle in their carryon bag or a 12-ounce bottle in their checked luggage.
8. A Portable Steamer
Sleeping on a plane and folding your clothes to put into your luggage can leave your attire wrinkled and creased.
Given that you want to look as professional as possible, packing a portable steamer is a great idea and can quickly get folds and wrinkles out of your business attire.
Essential Items for Business Travel
Business travel is a necessary duty. While it might be uncomfortable at times, bringing along the items listed above can make the trip a much more comfortable, enjoyable and pleasant experience.
Be sure to pack these items in your luggage the next time you hit the road for your company.
