- For the flights, dress in tightly knit natural fibers, such as cotton, denim, leather or wool.
- Avoid restrictive clothing and synthetic fibers. Cover as much of your body as possible.
- When in doubt, pack black. It's easy to match and hides dirt.
- Reduce to a bare minimum the amount of metal on your person so you aren't held up at the metal detector. Things to consider: belts, key chains, etc.
- Shoes should be low-heeled, laced, leather or canvas. No nylons, high heels or slip-ons.
- Wear a safety strap for glasses and always have a back- up pair of glasses or contact lenses as well as medication in your carry-on luggage.
- Carry a small flashlight with you on your person.
- Bring an essentials kit, moist towelettes, reading material, snacks, flight schedule as well as a CD/tape player.
- Take a copy of prescriptions should you need to have glasses or medication replaced.
- Carry with you a list with your blood type, allergies, medical conditions and special needs.
- Do not pack sensitive or proprietary information in your checked luggage. Double envelope the material and hand carry it.
- Tag your bags, inside and out, with your business address and telephone number.
- Consider shipping heavy items ahead of you to your destination.
- Seek out pre-departure briefing and determine what special security precautions should be taken during your trip.
- Do research on the country you will be visiting. Check with the U.S. State Department, Bureau of Consular Affairs and U.S. Customs regarding any special requirements.
- Request from the Embassy of the country you plan on visiting, a list describing customs restrictions or banned materials
- Learn the basics about the destination country's history, culture, laws, norms, and language. The OK sign (making a circle with the thumb and forefinger) is considered terribly obscene in Spain and Brazil. In Japan, it tells the cashier you want your change in coins. Get educated..
- Carry your international shot record, just in case
- Do not publicize your travel plans. Leave an itinerary at the office and with a family member or friend.
- Advise all parties of changes to your travel plans when they occur
- Make photocopies of your passport, visa, and other important documents. Put copies in your carry-on and checked luggage and leave one at home and at the office.
- When traveling with someone, always use the buddy system, from the start of your trip to the end.
