June 13, 2012 By Linda Fox 2 Comments

In a bid to keep the business travel community moving during the London 2012 Olympics, Carlson Wagonlit Travel has devised the following neat Survival Guide.

It provides simple tips such as moving meetings outside the capital and advance purchase of train tickets as well as links (from the PDF version) to the ‘Get Ahead of the Games’ Twitter account and the London Underground Hotspots Map.

CWT also highlights August 13 as the busiest day at Heathrow and warns travellers to be aware of the Olympics shoulder season with increased costs in June and October as companies shift travel plans to outside of the games.

Oh, and perhaps the best advice of all – when all else fails, keep calm and and carry on.

Also – carry on & carry hand luggage. Not sure you’ll ever get your suitcase back if you fly into LHR
