Etiquette
Quick Tip: Travel Attire
When
traveling by airplane on business, you are representing your
company. Dress professionally as you would for the business meeting
to which you are traveling. Do not dress like you are on
vacation.
There is always a chance that you will run into
someone on the airplane who is from the company you are to meet
with, or a representative of another company with which you do
business. Dressing down makes you appear too informal and not
credible. Also, if your flight is delayed and your luggage
lost, you may have to step off the plane and go straight to your
meeting.
Stick with professional attire for the trip
out and the trip home. You never know with whom you will be
sitting and what they can do for your
career.
