When planning a trip, there are so many things we have to thing about before we depart. Here are 12 Things to bear in mind:
- Camera with charged batteries and empty card
- Gotta do it, record your adventures, but be prepared, take extra cards and remember to charge those batteries beforehand
- Charged Mobile Smart Phone
- Simple, but we forget to do all the time
- Backup Routings
- Backup Tickets
- Applicable Airline Phone Numbers
- Applicable Airline Websites Bookmarked in Mobile Phone
- With some airlines you have to list online, so its so much easier to bookmark the web sites. Also for flight status, it makes it easier. You can also download their mobile applications.
- Check Loads
- All too often we forget this one and get stranded someplace. This helps you to look for alternate airports as well
- Check-in Online
- Ensures you get on that standby list 24 hours in advance as it improves your priority of others with your same pass class
- Change for Local Bus
- This is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get around so ensure you do some research and are prepared
- Passport (if applicable
- Ensure your passport is at least valid for 6 months after the date of your arrival and have a few blank pages for the passport/visa stamp.
- Visa (if applicable)
- If you are a U.S. citizens there are still a few country where a visa is required such as Argentina (on arrival), Australia (online), Brazil (prior to departure), Chile, (on arrival) People’s Republic of China (prior to departure) and Russia (prior to departure) to name a few.
- Pen and Paper
- You’ll need this to jot down flight information as well as other local information, plus filling out immigration forms if traveling internationally.
