Business travel has changed significantly since the pandemic. Video calls replaced many international trips, and companies began questioning whether expensive travel was always necessary.

However, many businesses have found that face-to-face meetings build stronger client relationships and close deals more effectively than remote meetings. As a result, business travel is recovering, though companies are more selective about when and where they send employees.

For the business traveller, preparation is key. A clear itinerary, knowledge of visa requirements, and a well-organised expense claim process can make the difference between a smooth trip and a stressful one.

Jet lag remains a challenge for long-haul travellers. Experts recommend adjusting your sleep schedule before departure, staying hydrated, and avoiding alcohol on long flights.
