Business travelers I need your two cents

[pstall]

Been several years since I have flown for work and next week I have several meetings in Dallas. Lots of face time with power brokers yada yada.

My question is I have to wear a suit or two and was curious whata best for packing and taking on a flight?

Im trying to avoid a suit that looks like Joan Rivers neck.

Do I just wear one on the flight and pack a blazer with a shirt to make sure at least one looks sharp?

Sorrry to ask but kinda a big deal and I want to be on my A game.

Roll them up do not fold.  Or if it's for work why not just check them in one of those boxes for suits?  The company is paying right?

This is common for me. I have a garment bag that zips up like a suitcase with spinners. I would recommend using something like that, because it keeps everything from getting wrinkled. You can fit 4 suits, 6 shirts, 2 pairs of shoes, toiletries, etc...

This is a great one, and one hell of a price...

Excellent call.

I may need to run out and get one. My travel time will start ramping up soon anyway.

I traveled a ton for business (both domestic and international).  Even with the garmet bag, you will still have a bunch of wrinkles.

 

I purchased a small handheld garmet steamer for about $40 that I throw in my bag.  I use it to quickly drop out wrinkles created during travel in my shirts, pants, suits, etc.  Works fantastic and will not damage the wool or wool/blend suits like an iron will.

 

Here is the one I have and it is pretty small.

I've been fortunate to stay at hotels with complimentary dry cleaning. Depending on how much time you have, you may try that if you find you slept in your suit.

 

Are you staying with a certain hotel chain and do you have a rewards membership?

If you get the suit dry cleaned leave it in the plastic that comes with the returned shirts/suits. Then pack it with minimal folds. It's a nice little secret.

Its downtown Hilton so im sure they can press. I may wear one on the flight to keep it simple and pack the blazer.

Good stuff fellas. Newcastles for all.

Actually you can get your dry cleaning boxed instead of on hangers. Then just pack it in a suitcase.

 

Garment bags work fine too. I've done both

On the companies dime.....this is what I would do.

 

Have the hotel deal with it.

Get none wrinkle suit. I got one for $400 at jos a banks. No wrinkles

[mr beauxjangles]

I travel two or three times each month. Pack my jacket, shirts, pants in a suit bag and fold it on the top of everthong else in my carry on. Iron the shirt and pants at the hotel. Hang the jacket in the bathroom, close the door, and turn the shower on hot for five minutes. Steams your jacket - no more wrinkles.
