Business travel: before you arrive

Prepare an enquiry

Provide dates and the number of guests and rooms. State whether you need an invoice; send billing details later through an agreed channel.

Confirm your work requirements

Check your room’s facilities, internet requirements and arrival time. Do not assume all categories have identical equipment.

Check the meeting venue

Verify the address and entrance with your organiser. For MCK events, check venue updates and allow extra travel time.

If the weather changes

For a time-critical meeting, plan an alternative transport option for bad weather.
