[quote=Anonymous]I posted a while back about having to take a new coworker on a business trip with me.  She is brand new to business travel - any kind of air travel, really - so I made sure we had plenty of time.

1. She woke up late
2.  Was at the airport and hour and a half later than we agreed to
3. Left her laptop bag in her car
4. Didn't know you couldn't bring liquids through security
5. Wore these ridiculous 4 inch heels so she could barely walk through the terminal.

I basically dragged her as fast as I could through the airport, and we still missed our flight.  Our manager is furious with me because I didn't explain to her about the liquids and that she couldn't carry on a giant suitcase, etc, or explain to her her decent travel attire.  I guess I am wondering if this is really my responsibility?  I travel 150,000 miles a year and it never occurred to me to tell someone in 2015 that they can't bring a huge bottle of shampoo or a giant suitcase on the plane.  I was at the airport almost 3 hours before our flight, but there wasn't much I could do besides call her when she didn't show up on time.

How do I fix this in the future?  I am not her manager.[/quote]
