Traveller Checks

It’s never too early to start thinking about summer holidays!

Traveling abroad is exciting, but proper preparation ensures a smooth and stress-free trip. Take these essential steps to get ready:  

1. Check Travel Documents: 

• Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. 

• Apply for visas if required, some countries take weeks to process them. 

• Make copies of important documents (passport, visa, travel insurance) and store them digitally.  

2. Book Flights & Accommodation:

• Confirm flight reservations and check baggage policies. 

• Finalise hotel bookings or alternative stays (Airbnb, hostels). 

• Research airport transfers or local transport options.  

3. Arrange Travel Insurance:  

• Purchase comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage (we never need it until we do!). 

• Check if your policy includes activities you plan to do (e.g. adventure sports).  

4. Visit Your Doctor: 

• Schedule any necessary vaccinations or medications for your destination. 

• Refill prescriptions and carry a copy of your medical records.  

5. Plan Your Itinerary:

• Research attractions, book tickets for popular sites in advance, and note local customs or dress codes. 

• Download offline maps, translation apps, and travel guides.
