Female Business Travelers Take Note

• When packing, cover each piece of clothing in a plastic dry cleaning bag for virtually wrinkle-free clothing.

• For safety's sake, use only your business address and last name with first initial when traveling, especially on luggage tags.

• Buy travel- and sample-size toiletries and beauty products. Consider products that serve dual purposes (i.e. body/hair shampoos).

• Put all liquids in plastic bottles. Fill bottles halfway and squeeze out extra air to help avoid leaks and bursts. Place bottles in resealable plastic bags to help avoid leakage.

• Call the airline at least six hours prior to your flight to request special meals.

• When making hotel reservations, state your preference for a room on the second to seventh floors, away from stairs and elevators. Restate your request upon check-in.

• Drink plenty of water before and during the flight to help avoid dehydration and jet lag.

• Check with the hotel concierge to determine how much cab fare you can expect to pay to your destinations.
