Hi guys,

I've just landed a support role with international travel (North Europe & America) I have only ever traveled as a tourist previously, albeit quite extensively.

I'd love some general pointers of how to make the most of my traveling, I.E best rewards from hotels groups to stay with, credit or charge card options, itinerary management websites and even essential items to pack (I know it should be common sense, but even on pleasure trips I always neglect something important).

So a few quick details, I'll be based in Sheffield, and will be abroad perhaps 1 week in 5 or 6. Company does not provide credit facilities, nor do they book tickets or Hotels, it's all down to me.

Thanks in advance for helping me get my head round this myriad of info!
