Comfort Counts: With budget cutbacks and travel restraints, your next business trip doesn't have to break the bank! Why not pass on the 4-star hotel and go for a 3-star that will provide clean, comfortable rooms, exceptional service and the essential hotel amenities all at a reasonable price. Keep in mind discount business travel shouldn't mean cutting out necessities. Visit brand-specific websites to find up-to-date photography and room descriptions so you know exactly what to expect.

Stay Connected: It's a good idea to send your business itinerary to a coworker, friend or relative so someone will always know your whereabouts. Be sure to carry a cell phone when traveling alone, and of course sending an e-mail from the road to keep people informed is a good idea.

Less Is More: Be sure to pack light and right - the less you pack, the less you have to carry. A checklist with different categories will help you get organized and ensure you fill your suitcase with the necessities. Traveling with light luggage will ease your trip and increase overall comfort level while on the road.
