People are busy working, but their hearts long to travel. In urban cities of the world travellers have to be on regular jobs to realise their dream of travelling. As boring as it might sound, there are still some ways in which you can make your job fulfil a little of your travel desires. How you ask? Bleisure trips are our answer to that. Yes, these are strategically planned out business trips where you are travelling to some new place. The cue is to make your work schedule create some space for you to be a traveller in breaks. We are sharing some tips on how to go about planning and make this happen for real.

Piggyback your trip

We all travel for work in jobs that demand us to visit new markets and crack deals in new cities. Domestic or international, these trips can be an easy way to get a flavour of your business destination. Every place has something to offer, so why not squeeze in a weekend or add a couple of days extra to your business trip to make way for a brief sightseeing frenzy. It gets easy as your company pays for your travel tickets and the meals can get reimbursed too. Isn’t that what you always wanted to do?

Time stretch your flight schedules

If your trip is just for a day or two you might not have all the time in the world for explorations. But what can be done is to make your choice of flights a bit cleverer. Fly out on the early morning flights or you can also chose the redeye hour flights if you are good at catching up with sleep while on board. This will give you a little window to see the new city in its morning glory before you start your day at work. Also choosing the last flight back can give you a chance to witness a portion of the nightlife of a place; as you hang around post work to experience the evening. Just make sure you are close to the airport so as to not miss your flight while being busy in merriment.

Check with your company perks

There are many companies in the world who are actually appreciative of the work their employees do. How is that? Well some of them allow a daily stipend for leisure given to every employee who is travelling for work. Yes, this little treat might not make you hit the luxurious clubs or buy you a ticket to an amusement park, but something is always waiting out there. Use the money to maybe buy a ticket to the local museum or have a heart-warming dose of local fast food at a popular city joint.

Gather the most privileges that you can

Frequent flyer benefits and points that you earn on regular hotel bookings can be put to good personal use in the long run. If you travel often for work, make those perks que up for you to use when you take your annual break and travel. Or maybe apply for a leave and connect it to your holiday so that you are one way through already. These schemes can be really helpful in bringing down the cost of your leisurely reveries.

Use your credit card to fuel your holiday

Most companies make you buy your tickets on a regular basis for travel that they reimburse later. So if you use your personal credit card for the purpose then you are lucky to be collecting all those reward points and accumulating the free miles of air travel. Frequent usage can guarantee some good gift for your personal holiday tour in future.

These five must have already made you more motivated to go on your next business trip. We assure you that work can be a lot of fun too and you now know the reason why.
