First work-sponsored travel for my internship this summer. While we still dont' have specific info on the arrangements, my work will fly us to HQ then our office for the summer. What should I expect? Do I need to dress a little more professionally? Should I limit my luggage? Will they handle transportation from the office to the airport? Sorry for all the questions but would appreciate any help :)

You'll make mistakes and then next time you'll know it better
It depends on the nature of the trip. 95% of the time the only time you set foot outside your hotel or meeting space (assuming they're not the same place) is when you're walking between meetings or when you go to dinner. You're "on" from 7am through 11pm. Then you leave. It could be in the coolest place on the planet, and you won't have the time to enjoy it. People romanticize work travel, but there's nothing glamorous about it.
In my experience - suit and tie by default. Single carry-on bag. You are responsible for your own transportation to and from the airport, but you expense to the corporate card.
YMMV. If this is for an internship, your trip is probably going to be more "fun" with planned events and no actual work happening, and there might be pre-arranged group shuttles to and from the airport and to planned "events".
I usually come in the night before and leave a bit later than the team so I can properly enjoy the city but when it’s a live deal that becomes impossible.
How big is the company & what is the purpose of the travel? a lot of what happens depends on that. for example, when I travel for work I book through an internal provider for airfare and hotel, food and cabs are done through company CC. lunch and dinner is usually provided. you may have time to workout in the AM and grab breakfast on your own, but otherwise you will probably be busy all day except for 30 min to get back to hotel to shower/change before dinner for another few hours.
also, just ask your coworker or manager for an itinerary/schedule.
The itinerary will be determined by the firm and the trip's purpose. In order to properly plan your downtime and pack, it's a good idea to request the itinerary in advance.
