Travel tips and advice

Documents
Scan your documents and store them electronically – accessing them at an internet cafe will make it a lot easier to get your holiday back on track if you have an emergency.

Money
Only keep a day’s worth of cash in your wallet/purse at any one time and the rest in a money belt.

Essentials
Making sure you have the necessary visas and vaccinations is essential. Speak to your consultant if you need more information on this.

Insurance
Never travel without travel insurance. It’s not too late to arrange it. You can get travel insurance online or call your consultant.

Packing
When packing, be ruthless and halve your stuff. Then halve it again. Chances are you can buy extra clothes at your destination if you don’t have enough.

Health
Drink lots of water on the plane and avoid alcohol and caffeine as these will dehydrate you. Plus make sure you do the simple exercises in your seat every hour to arrive fresh for your holiday.

Departures
Airport security can take longer than you think, especially if you are travelling through the USA. Check how long you should arrive at the airport before your flight.

Driving
If you're driving overseas, you should consider an international driving permit.
