Some Essential Tips to Ensure You Travel Well

· Check exactly what that insurance covers.

· These days all airline tickets are e-tickets so you should carry a printout of your e-ticket plus a reference number.

· Always check all departures times and dates of your flights.

· Check that you have enough time to make your connecting flights and that the dates are corrected.

· Check your e-ticket to make sure you are on the flight you requested.

· Label your luggage with your name and address.

· The ideal way to travel is with one smallish carry on bag.

· If you are taking presents for friends and family, pack them in a soft suitcase, which can then be packed flat in your own case when returning home.

· If you are visiting a country where the language is not English, write down the name of your hotel clearly to give to taxi drivers or get somebody to write the address out for you.

· Do your homework before you travel. The more informed you are the easier you will find things. Besides it is interesting to read about new countries and destination.
