Earlier today, I was looking at my recent posts and noticed that 90% of my posts in the last three months have been my coverage of conferences. Building on that, I thought I would share what I've learned and unlearned in the last few months. If you're considering any sort of professional travel, check these out:
Know the carry on rules. Just know the rules. Don't bother trying to bring anything big and metal or sharp or anything else that might confuse security. A bottle of water is going to cause you problems, but odds are a bottle of contact solution will not. Of course, sometimes security won't know what something is and cause you problems. My Power Squid (pictured right) was nearly confiscated at Dulles (IAD) on my way to ZendCon08. You're right, none of these are complicated... in fact, I suspect that's why many people don't consider them. They're so simple and uncomplicated that they're overlooked. At to be honest, there are probably another ten tips I could come up with... what do you suggest?
Plan your wardrobe++ again....
1. Avoid any pants that require a belt. You'll probably have to take it off.
2. Wear easy shoes. Nothing that has to be tied on and off. Slip ons and offs if possible just for traveling.
3. Prep for the security line. Before you step into the security strip search yourself. Put everything on your person that you can into your briefcase/bag. Watches, cell phones, keys, money clip, etc.
Re: Conference Travel Tips
Hey there,
A great checklist that more-or-less is the same as mine. But for foreign travelers I would like to add the following:
- have power converters in your carry on bags
- ensure your passport is at least 6 months before it expires
- ship gifts for friends separately, they might get confiscated
- for Europeans going to the US: leave clothes at home ! You can buy them very cheap in the US and most of the time you'll get free shirts anyway.
See you at one of the next conferences !
