At some point, new associates will go on their first business trip with the partners for whom they work. I usually have learned travel lessons the hard way. Here is what I wish someone had told me long ago.

1. Immediately sign up for airline, hotel, and rental car frequent flyer programs . I asked around and was disappointed to hear that some young associates I work with hadn’t done this. Lawyers who travel even a little will find that these points add up quickly. Most programs let account holders retain points and miles for a long time. Early on, I signed up for every airline, hotel and rental car program I conceivably could use, and I make sure I get my points on every trip.
