A business travel show for people who live out of a carry-on. Practical systems for flights, hotels, fitness and staying sharp on the road — from someone who does it every week.
Bristol to Perth for Work, and Arriving Ready for the Meeting
I'm an engineer in Bristol, and this autumn I made my first trip out to Perth for a new project. In this episode I talk about the travel side of a long-haul business trip: getting from Bristol to Heathrow for the flight out, landing in Perth with meetings the same afternoon, and getting home again without losing a day to logistics.
In this episode:
Booking a Bristol to Heathrow Airport (https://bristolride.com/transfer/bristol/heathrow-airport/) transfer with BristolRide instead of driving and parking for two weeks
Using a Perth Airport chauffeur (https://perthride.com/chauffeur/airport/) from PerthRide to get to the client's office straight off the plane
Booking a chauffeur service in Perth (https://perthride.com/chauffeur/) for a day of site visits
Flying home into Bristol and booking a Bristol Airport taxi (https://bristolride.com/) for the last leg
What I'd do differently, and a few tips for anyone with expenses to justify
