This prior research will enable you to plan out the visits and time them with travel concerns. Always research the arrival locations for the cheapest airfare. A good example is my co-worker who asked to go to Germany for problem analysis. His spouse made the executive decision she was going to, in traveling to Germany. After looking at tickets from the local airport to Frankfurt (typical landing point) he found the tickets to cost no less than $1395.00. He talked with me and I suggested he find it at Berlin International Airport. The total for the ticket dropped to $611.00.

Now he had to forgo this change of plans with our boss because it increased his driving time on the ground by 1 hr. But the $600 + dollars he saved on airfare travel more than made up for the increased car ride time.

Speaking of the car, make sure the spouse’s name is in car rental agreement and insured. If your wife is the same as mine, she will not happy cooped up in a hotel while you are in facilities the whole day. Aware of this minor point will save you loads of time and aggravation.

The last part of the consideration is the dining report. Be vigilant and research your corporate policy on this one. May pick up the room breakfast on the corporate account for the wife. However unlikely that you will expense out her lunch and dinner meals. I saw one gentleman dismissed on this account. Now he had other issues, but the corporate policy he broke achieved the pink slip.
