Default Packing for ultra long trips

I have never done a 10 day or longer and I have a 10 day over Christmas. With 48 hours in paris im thinking thats a good place to have the hotel do laundry and wondering if anyone has done laundry there and how it went? Any other tips or tricks appreciated.

Take 3 pilot shirts. And pack for a 4 day (Workout Shoes, Workout clothes, Jeans, couple tees, couple nice shirts, jacket). When you have a break, drop of laundry and expense it.

Have Fun!

Get the laundry expenses reimbursed. It's super easy to do. Just be mindful of timing with your laundry. If you need a rush job it'll cost more and there's a dollar limit amount the company will pay you.

Any AMS in your trip pairings? They do laundry there, no cost to you.

How long does the trip have to be before you can expense laundry? I've got a 7 day trip coming up.

7 days is plenty. Six too. Not sure about less than that. You get up to $50 reimbursed. Download form, fax it and also fill out trip expense. Easy peasy. The challenge is finding a dry cleaner/laundry that can turn it in 24 hours.

This is definitely a problem. Some places I've stayed at have "self service" laundry. Ask at the front desk. Also, if you have more than one layover in the same hotel, drop off on the first night and pick it up on your next layover.
