Travel has changed dramatically over the past few years. Even if you’re a regular business traveler it’s important to keep up with the ever-changing airport rules and regulations. Be sure you understand them before you even leave home.

Although this wasn’t always the case, at many major airports business travelers are now able to use a special security lane designed to move faster than the others. While it may not be available everywhere, you should check with your local airport to see if it’s offered and how you can qualify.

Electronic Devices & Gadgets

Nearly everyone on a business trip carries a laptop on the plane with them. The only requirement currently is that the computer be removed from it’s case and passed through security screening equipment by itself in one of the provided bins. Other gadgets commonly carried by the business traveler such as cameras, personal digital assistants, pagers, call phones and GPS devices are allowed to be taken on board as either carry-ons or checked baggage.

If you are traveling with camera equipment and film, be sure to carry it on the plane and ask the screening attendant for special handling. X-ray equipment used for security may cause damage to undeveloped film present in a camera so be sure to take this special precaution.

Traveling With Sporting Equipment & Accessories

If you’re worried about keeping a healthy diet and workout routine while you’re away, remember that some activity is often part of a business trip. A lot of business is routinely conducted on the golf course or even a tennis court. If you can work these sports in, you’ll have no problem staying in shape while you’re away.

Keep in mind that while you can travel with most sporting equipment, you’ll usually need to include it in you checked baggage. Baseball bats, golf clubs, pool cues, ski poles, etc. need to be checked. However, you will be able to bring golf balls, basketballs and other small items on the plane with you.

Packing Personal Items

When you’re traveling you need to take all the personal items you would normally use at home with you. Unlike those on vacation, you’re away working and need to look polished and professional at all times.

As long as your personal items are in containers no larger than 3 ounces, you’ll be able to check or carry them on. Examples include: aerosol bottles and cans, lotions, creams, bath gel, bug repellant, eye drops, mouthwash and so on. If in double about objects with sharp edges, it’s best to either check or leave them at home.
