When you are packing for your next business trip, consider spending a little extra time to evaluate what you really need on your trip. If you are going to be on the road for only a short time limiting the amount of luggage you bring can benefit you in many ways. Try to pack clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. Avoid packing outfits that can only be worn once, and most importantly try to choose clothes that coordinate so that you can limit the number of shoes you will need on your trip. You could also buy toiletry items like shampoo and conditioner when you arrive at your destination. Here are some of the major perks for travelers that limit the amount of baggage they take with them on vacation.

Perhaps one of the biggest incentives business professionals have to travel light is the ability to cut costs during their trip. Limiting the number of bags you bring with you will allow you to avoid pricey baggage fees. Having less luggage will also enable you to utilize public transportation or even walk to your hotel more easily. Limiting the weight you have to carry will make you more likely to opt for the public transit route instead of taking a pricey taxi or limo to and from the airport.

If you have fewer bags while you travel it will also allow you to keep better track of your stuff and reduce the chances that you will be the victim of theft. Your goal when packing should be to only bring the amount of luggage with you that you can transport alone. This will enable you to keep your bags and other belongings within your site and in your control at all times. Also, if you are traveling by air and manage to only travel with the appropriate carry on items, you will avoid the possibility that your luggage could be lost or things taken while they are out of your site.

It is much easier to deal with airport delays, flight transfers and possible full flights if you have all the luggage you are traveling with on your person at all times. By not needing to check a bag you will have the flexibility to more easily forfeit your seat on the plane and take advantage of the travel offers the airline provides if you have the time to wait for the next flight. In addition to flexibility before the flight you will also be the envy of all of the people gathered around the luggage carousel as you waltz past them and head off to your hotel as soon as you step off the plane.

Finally, many travelers are always looking for a way to be more “green” as they travel for business or pleasure. Packing light, whether you are traveling by car or by plane, reduces the amount of fuel your travel requires. Over time traveling with less stuff could compel you to buy fewer suit cases and other manufactured goods and that will reduce the amount of waste produced.
