Start with documents
Check passport validity, visa and entry rules, and any permissions needed for travellers. Use official government and embassy sources rather than outdated posts.
Check the easy-to-miss details
Traveller names as shown on documents, travel dates, amendment and cancellation rules, baggage limits and arrival times at departure points.
Health and safety
Consult official destination health guidance, insurance information and medication restrictions where relevant. Share sensitive personal details only with an appropriate provider through a secure channel.
Connectivity and money
Think about how you will stay connected, access funds safely, use a backup payment option and reach your accommodation.
Leave room for changes
Recheck weather and schedules before departure. Keep secure copies of essential documents and verified provider contacts.
Final check
Read the terms of any arrangement before paying or confirming it.
