Travelling for the first time? ………. Then take note of the following;
Book a seat
Take only what is necessary
Check the airline’s size of hand luggage before you leave home
All liquids should be checked in, if found in the hand luggage it will be forfeited at the security search gate
Do not forget to check your passport expiration especially if it is a long holiday
Travelling between time zones can be confusing so make sure to double check your itinerary to
1) confirm your airport
2)make sure your name is spelt correctly on all your documents
3) Confirm reservations from hotel, flights etc
Get a map of the area you are heading to, also get your hotel business card so as to give the cab driver
Make sure you have enough data for roaming and international calls
Do not exchange too much money before you travel , just take the amount you will need and go to the bank as soon as you touch down to exchange more money
Wear comfortable shoes
Make sure you run a research on the country you are visiting
Try new food, talk to the indigenes and check out the new environment
