🇱🇻 NEW DESTINATION GUIDE: RIGA ✈️

Travelling to Riga for business? We’ve done some of the homework for you!

Our latest Destination Guide covers the practical essentials — including airport transfers and places to work — alongside ideas for where to eat, enjoy an after-work drink, shop and explore when the meetings are over.

Because even on a business trip, there’s always time to experience a little of the destination. 💼🌍

September means new beginnings 🎓📚

For some, it’s back to school. For others, it’s the start of college, a big exam year, moving away to university or taking those first steps towards what comes next.

Our latest blog is a little reminder to work hard, embrace the new experiences and, most importantly, enjoy the journey along the way.

Here’s to a brilliant year ahead! ✨

August in business… ☀️
Half your inbox is sending automatic replies. Someone’s permanently “back next Monday”. And you’re starting to wonder if you’re the only person actually working. 😂

But business travel? Very much still happening. ✈️

Flights still get cancelled. Plans still change. Travellers still need help.
Which is why our support doesn’t disappear just because everyone else’s Outlook says they’re in Majorca. 😎

Business travel doesn’t take the summer off, and neither do we.

“Everything's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay.” 💛
A little Dolly wisdom that feels particularly worth holding onto today.

Like so many people, we were incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton.
Of course, there was the extraordinary talent, the unmistakable voice and the songs that became part of so many people's lives. But there was also the woman behind it all.

Dolly was a formidable businesswoman, a philanthropist and a passionate supporter of causes close to her heart – from children's literacy and education to equality and communities in need.
She built an extraordinary career and business empire, but did it with warmth, humour, generosity and a wonderful ability never to take herself too seriously.

As a female-founded, predominantly female business, she's someone we've always had a huge amount of admiration for. In fact, we like to think we channel a little of our inner Dolly every day – work hard, care about people, know what you stand for, and don't be afraid to do things your own way. ✨

In Ingrid's words: “Strong, wise and brilliant businesswoman Dolly – as well as uber talented.”
A pretty wonderful example of what can happen when talent, determination, kindness and a whole lot of personality come together.

What a woman. What a legacy. 💛
We will always love you, Dolly.

Airport queues can be unpredictable.
Sometimes you're through in minutes. Other times... not so much!
If you've ever wondered whether Fast Track security or passport control is worth paying for, we've put together a quick guide to help you decide.

That feeling when you KNOW you’ve forgotten something… 😬✈️
Passport? Yep.
Phone? Yep.
Laptop? Yep.
But what about the hotel address? Transfer details? Visa requirements? Check-in time? Emergency contact? That confirmation email you definitely saved somewhere… 👀

There’s a lot more to a business trip than getting on the plane.
That’s why we like having everything in one place. Our travellers can access their personalised itinerary, documents and important trip information through Vamoos, so there’s a little less to remember when they’re heading out the door.

Now… where did you put your passport? 😂

Which traveller are you? 🛫
Are you happiest once the plane leaves the runway, do you love watching the world go by from a train, prefer having the freedom of your own four wheels… or actually quite enjoy a ferry crossing? 👀

If all four could get you where you needed to be, which are you choosing?

We’re intrigued to see which one wins! 👇

"We were convinced we'd be stuck in a huge queue..."

That's what our Travel Consultant, Sharon, thought as she and her son Nathan landed in Nice last week.

After reading so much about Europe's new Entry/Exit System (EES), they hurried off the plane expecting a long wait at passport control.

Instead, there were only around ten people ahead of them.
Within a few moments, their passports had been scanned, an iris photo had been taken, and they were on their way.

Flying home brought another surprise. The automated machines weren't even being used, passports were simply stamped, and there was hardly any queue at all.

It just goes to show that every airport is a little different while the new system is being introduced.
If you're travelling soon, we'd still suggest allowing a little extra time, but don't assume every airport experience will match the stories you've been hearing.

Have you travelled through Europe recently? We'd love to know what your experience was like.

🎙️ The podcast is live!

I had the pleasure of joining Debbie Gilbert from the Best Businesswomen Awards and Best SME Awards for a chat about the journey behind Principal Business Travel.

We talked about why I started the business back in 1999, how we've navigated everything from airline commission cuts to global travel disruption, why customer service has always come before everything else, and how that approach eventually led to us winning Gold for Best Customer Service at the Best SME Awards.

We also chatted about some of the things we've introduced in recent years, including our traveller wellbeing initiatives, loyalty programme, and what the future looks like for Principal.

It's a relaxed conversation with plenty of stories from the past 26 years, including a few moments that definitely weren't in the business plan!

If you'd like a listen, I'd love to know what you think.
