Listen Later

Business travel – glamorous on Instagram, chaotic in real life. In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, host Nicky Christmas revisits one of her most-requested topics: how to expertly plan and manage business travel for your executive. Originally recorded at her first public speaking event back in 2012 (or maybe 2013 – who’s counting?), this session has been fully updated for 2025 with all the latest tools, AI tricks, and tech tips.

Whether your executive is flying long-haul or hopping on a train to a regional office, you’ll learn how to build a bulletproof itinerary that keeps them calm, collected, and exactly where they need to be. From pre-flight prep to worst-case scenario plans, we’re covering it all.

Oh, and yes – we still print the itinerary. Even in 2025.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why travel planning is still one of the most essential EA skills
  • Setting clear expectations before your executive sets foot on a plane
  • Questions to ask before you book anything (trust us, these are game changers)
  • What the purpose of the trip tells you about how to plan it
  • How to build an itinerary your executive will actually use
  • Four essentials every itinerary needs – plus the added extras that make all the difference
  • Why paper copies still matter (yes, really)
  • Who should get a copy of the itinerary – it’s not just your exec!
  • How to prep for delays, jet lag, and all those unexpected curveballs
  • The best AI and travel tech tools to streamline the process in 2025
  • One final Google Maps trick that will make you look like a total travel genius
