Traveling for business can be exhausting, especially if you have to fly internationally over just few days, or go straight to work when you arrive. Still, there are helpful things you can do before, during, and after your flight to make the travel and the transition much easier. Dress Comfortably Loose, comfortable clothing won't restrict your movements. Also don't forget to bring socks and a thin blanket, since new airline cutbacks mean these items might not be provided. Stay away from Salt Avoid foods high in sugar or salt, as they make you tired and dehydrated. Plane food can be hit-or-miss at best, so it is always a good idea to bring some healthy snacks such as energy bars. Recharge Your Batteries Your safest bet is to charge all your electronics before you fly, though an increasing number of airports now offer 'charge stations' where you can plug in. Sleep It Off Try to sleep on the plane if you can. If you have a hard time falling asleep, natural products with velerian root or melatonim (and, of course, standard sleeping pills) can help you. Earplugs, neck pillows, and eye masks can all help as well. Stay away from the Last Rows Aisle or windows is a personal choice, but when you check in and get your seat assignment, it's always a good plan to make sure you're not sitting in the last rows of the plane. Those seats are close to both the engine and the bathrooms, which are noisy and smelly. Paper or Plastic Don't bother taking heavy books on the plane -- go instead with a paperback or magazines. The Kindle or iPad is also a lightweight, compact choice and means easy transitioning between work and pleasure reading.
