Our article is dedicated to all the business travellers, entrepreneurs, and office managers who travel a lot and are literally terrified every time the next trip comes. For those who are going to visit Kiev in the near future, we have a couple of useful tips to follow on the next flight. So, sit back, relax, and prepare to make your next business trip as comfortable as possible.
Before everything else, let’s discuss the place you’re going to fly to. When talking about Ukraine, the most convenient and universal way is to arrive at Kiev directly. We advise Boryspil airport as the biggest airport in Ukraine. You can always find the tickets on the official website of the airline. So, choose http://www.flyuia.com/flights/jfk-to-kbp.html and pick the most suitable tickets for you.
And now let’s go to the actual tips.
Top 7 Tips for a Smart Business Trip
1. Download a map of Kiev. Always download on your phone a map of the city you’re going to visit before landing. The best variant is to prepare everything at least a night before your trip. You don’t want to get lost immediately after arriving in Boryspil.
2. Weather. Be ready for temperature differences when travelling to Ukraine, especially in winter. A typical Ukrainian winter is very cold and a typical Ukrainian summer is very hot. So, bring appropriate clothes with you.
3. Cash and credit cards. Of course, credit cards are gaining more popularity in Ukraine. But some places still accept cash money only. So, it is always better to have a few dollars in your pockets.
4. Customize your bag. Usually, we took plain black or dark blue suitcases on our business trips. This can lead to a misunderstanding in the airport as many other people have the same bags. So, always customize your bag in some way. It can be a label or a ribbon. And put your business card inside of your suitcase. In case your luggage is lost, this will definitely help to return it faster.
5. Use time effectively. In the airports, we usually have a lot of free time. So, spend it wisely. You can check and answer your emails, check social media, look through work documents and try to remember whether you’ve forgotten something or not.
6. Good headphones. Invest in a pair of good headphones. Otherwise, you will have to listen to a bunch of kids crying or other people talking non-stop. This will definitely disturb you and you will not be able to focus on future meetings and conferences. Put on your headphones and look through the documents and graphics without disturbance.
7. Choose a vehicle. Decide how you will get to the city from the airport and to the hotel after arriving in Ukraine. Be aware that taxis can be a little bit expensive and the city buses and trolley buses don’t always stick to their schedules.
Hopefully, travelling for work will not be a pain for you anymore.
