I will be away vs I won't be in the office

Both phrases are correct, but they convey different meanings. 'I will be away' implies the person will not be present, while 'I won't be in the office' specifically mentions the location where they won't be present. The choice between the two phrases depends on the level of detail needed in the communication.
