Check the passport
and visa requirements for the countries
you are visiting / transiting in on your
planned journey - make sure you apply
for them well in advance of your date
of travel.
Check the validity of
your Passport and Visas.
Don't forget your passport
and visa on the day of travel.
If
you lose your passport or visa please
contact the embassy or consulate immediately
in the country you are traveling in.
Security
Put a luggage
strap around your case for easy identification
and extra security
If you
lose your passport or visa please contact
the embassy or consulate immediately in
the country you are traveling in.
Never carry packages on behalf
of anyone else, however genuine they seem
to be
Never leave luggage unattended
at airports, this creates a high security
risk
Health
Check the inoculation and health requirements
for all of the countries you are visiting
on your journey. Please be aware some
vaccinations need to be administered 4-6
weeks before travel.
If
you are carrying medicines or medications
with you please keep a note of your condition
and the medication you require somewhere
handy e.g. a piece of paper in side the
cover of your passport, where it can be
easily found in an emergency.
Ensure you take extra
supplies of medication in case you get delayed
abroad
Tickets
Check the
ticket for Flight(s) details & accuracy
as soon as you recieve it.
Keep
your tickets with your passport and visas
and do not forget them on the day you
travel
Packing
Pack the
night before you travel, to save rushing
and being late for your flight
Check
the weather forecast at your destination
before travel to avoid taking unnecessary
luggage
Roll clothes instead
of folding them, it creates less creases.
Honest!
Pack travel sizes of
all of the lotions and potions you require
to save space.
Baggage
Check with
the airline you are traveling with on the
stipulated baggage allowances
Ensure
that your hand baggage allowance does
not exceed the level enforced by the airline
you are traveling with. This ensures unnecessary
embarrassment at the check-in desk, having
to move luggage from your hand baggage
to your suitcase.
Getting
To & From The Airport
Check
timetables for public transport in advance
to ensure you arrive at the airport in
plenty of time
If
taking your car pre-book parking wherever
possible or get someone to give you a
lift in order to save time
Wherever possible use
only metered taxis around the airport
Money
Make
sure you have enough foreign currency
for your immediate arrival into a foreign
country, particularly if your flight arrives
at an odd hour.
Always
make a list of the Credit / Debit Card
numbers and travelers cheques you are
carrying along with the suppliers contact
numbers in case they get lost.
General
Try to leave
plenty of time for checking in at the airport.
Always
reconfirm your flights before setting
out for the airport (do this about 24
hours before time of travel)
Check Duty Free allowances
carefully particularly on EU destinations.
Try
to book your flights outside of peak hours,
in order to avoid busy commuter routes
and congestion at the airport.
Do
not drink too much before boarding the
aircraft, as alcohol and cabin pressure
cause enhanced dehydration. You are also
unable to use the toilets until the aircraft
is airborne and at a safe altitude for
the seat belt sign to be taken off.
Check
with the airline you are traveling with,
as to the availability of telephone and
lap top power points on board.
Leave
contact details for yourself either with
someone at home or somebody in the office
in case they need to reach you in an emergency.
A phrase book is always
handy - remember, not everyone speaks English.
Jetlag
Try to drink
plenty of water whilst on the aircraft as
this helps to counter dehydration.
Check
in flight magazines, for gentle exercises
to do whilst on board to stop stiffness
and tiredness of joints.
Cleanse and moisturize
skin regularly whilst on board again to
counter dehydration.
Eat a light meal onboard
as easier to digest, avoid excessive carbohydrates
and fats.
