I'll be going on my very first proper business trip in a couple of weeks as well, a week or so in rural California (my first time to the US of A!). As such I shall be following this thread closely for tips and tricks. Life hacks, if you will.

Darth123123 posted:A very good suggestion. And a few bottled waters in your carry on Not sure if it's kosher to go through TSA with food/bottles these days. Water may be subjected to the 3-1-1 rule. According to the TSA site you can bring pies, cakes and whole fruit without checking them, but with granola bars it might depend on how anal the TSA agents are at the departing airport.

Is it okay to get female coworkers liquored up and gently caress them in the rear end on business trips? Asking for a friend.

oh and lol if you didn't spend the entire flight adjusting the AC and pretending to read the in flight magazine this is a good ad for pants that a business man might need  here is an ad for a seminar that teaches you how to negotiate like a pro  and here are today's snack selections on the flight  used to serve peanuts or pretzels now you get biscotti and your choice of caramel macchiato

True story: we once had an offload delayed for like 20 minutes because a sheet of ice formed under the bridge. It kept spinning its wheels like a cartoon and couldn't move. We had to wait until airport facilities came over with shovels and salt.
