Many of the routine meetings we hold today can be replaced / enhanced with new ways of meeting, without having to travel to get there. But when travel is required, there’s a set of common sense ideas you can follow to reduce your costs:

– plan ahead, and don’t buy a fully-flexible airfare.
– pay for hotel accommodation in advance, if you have fixed dates.
– rent a car, rather than relying on cabs. Or take the train.
– stay at a less expensive hotel, instead of one of the big chains.

It’s an old article, but it’s still packed with good advice.
