Useful Advice for Business Travel to Hawaii

January 30, 2009 by  

Business travel to Hawaii is a great opportunity to take advantage of your surroundings while the company foots the bill. In between your business meetings and presentations, you can soak up the rays and see a few sights- if you can keep on schedule and keep to your work schedule.

Business travel to Hawaii can be made easier with a few tips to save you time and money so you can work in a few hours of rest and relaxation.

Tips for Business Travel to Hawaii

1. If you are taking a trip to Hawaii from outside of the United States, keeping extra copies of your passport on hand will speed up your trip through customs. Once the customs agent verifies that the copy matches your original passport, you are waved through without waiting for the agent to make his own copy. Keep your passport, tickets and receipts in the same place.

2. Carry your laptop with you. If needed, your wireless laptop can access the airport’s WI-FI network to make last minute flight changes, locate a hotel room or secure a rental car. This can save you from standing in line to make changes should your flight be delayed or cancelled. Bring along your laptop’s charger so you plug in while waiting for your fight.

3. Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled flight. Airport security is tight and may cause delays in boarding. If you are one of the first passengers boarding the plane, you are less likely to be bumped from an overbooked flight.

4. Re-book your seats and print out the confirmation to verify your seat purchase. This can help straighten out any confusion over the airline’s flawed booking system and get your boarded faster.

5. You can request a specific seat upon check-in. You can request for a seat near the exit or bathroom or far away from the noisy galley and heavily travelled path to the restrooms allows you to work during the flight without needless distractions.

6. Plan your travel route from the airport to your destination before leaving home and get an approximate estimate of the cost of the cab fare. Keep this cash handy and make sure the cabbie does not give you the scenic tour.

7. Pack for only half of the days you will be staying in Hawaii and take advantage of the hotel’s laundry service.

8. Roll up your socks and place them inside your shoes to increase the room on your luggage and keep your shoes from crushing blows by baggage handlers.

9. Call your hotel before packing and inquire what items the hotel provides. Most hotels provide a hair dryer, iron, and coffee maker in the room.

10. Keep in mind that Hawaii weather is very mild, but November is the rainy season. Pack your swimsuit, a rain jacket, umbrella, and dress for warm weather.

These tips for business travel to Hawaii will help your trip go smoothly and free up a few extra moments to experience the Hawaiian culture and scenery during your trip.

    Thank you for your comment. More people should consider air charter. Our average round trip passenger pays $1150. We can get you to an airport next door to your destination. Great for business travelers.

    John is correct, exception NO ONE with any BRAINS is driving into mexico these days…
    In fact, the US state department has a major warning on anyone traveling to mexico.

    I used to live in Hawaii, I was on the island of Oahu and lived in Ewa Beach, and that was actually a topic when I was attending Campbell H.S. at first we just came up with simple answers like "well it just makes us look bad, and that's about it" but it does affect the school life because it brings property value down, than the type of people that tend to live in the area are "lower class" and tend to resort to violence or gangs. Now I am not saying that its true for everyone, but GRAFFITI in general just brings a bad image towards how we view the community.

    I'd say mostly harm as Mombasa is so central to the region, as compared to Dar which I am told has less capacity and a longer travel route.

    The land-locked countries will have to wait out the crisis this time. Perhaps after this crisis they can consider long-term alternatives e.g Dar Railway.

    The only beneficiaries I have read about so far have been tanzania tourist resorts (via air travel) and Arusha getting business conferences planned for Nairobi.

    This does look to be a welcome change. I'd like to see something similar done to 0.0 warfare too. This is pretty much just gate warfare. You can occasionally snag someone at a celestial, but the majority of combat is at, or near gates.

    Making a successful point prevent a jump might have some impact on the gate games we currently see. It would also be good to be be able to pull ships out of warp at any point along their travel route with a bubble rather than just within 100km of the warp end point. Just something to make the whole combat a bit more fluid.

    The Occupy Wall Street protests going on across the United States have hit North Carolina as protestors plan to occupy several cities in the Tar Heel state, including Charlotte, Raleigh and Wilmington. On Saturday, the protestors marched and rallied at the Bank of America headquarters, mimicking the Occupy Wall Street protest in the Queen City.
