Business trip packing list

Business trips are short, frequent and unforgiving: the forgotten laptop charger or badge costs a morning. This list starts with the work category in The Packing List app, then adds the clothes, toiletries, electronics, documents and to-dos that make a work trip run smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

What should I pack for a 3-day business trip?

Laptop, charger and adapter, phone and charger, badge and business cards, two or three shirts or tops, one jacket, one pair of smart trousers plus the ones you travel in, smart shoes, underwear and socks for each day, a small toiletry bag, and your ID, tickets and hotel confirmation.

How do I keep clothes wrinkle-free in a suitcase?

Fold jackets inside out along the seams, roll softer items, place shirts flat on top, and hang everything in the bathroom while you shower on arrival. A small bottle of wrinkle-release spray helps too.

What should I do at work before a trip?

Set an email autoresponder, hand over anything urgent, download the files you'll need offline, confirm meetings and addresses, and check that your work devices and two-factor tokens are with you.

Can I reuse this list for every trip?

Yes. Open it in The Packing List app once, then duplicate it before each trip and uncheck everything in one tap. Many frequent travellers keep one business-trip list permanently.

Every item on this page is one of the built-in suggestions in The Packing List app.
