On random Tuesdays I will be posting my travel recommendations and travel tips and will be answering questions from my followers. So if you have any questions e-mail me or comment here and I will try to get the answers for you.
Face it! Most people are disasters when we try to pack. So much unnecessary stuff shoved into the wrong bag and we lug it around from one spot to the other for the entire trip. Here is some professional advice for you, from how to select the right bag to what to put in the bag and what to leave behind.
Packing & Preparation Tips:
- Check the expiration date on your passport. Many countries require at least a six months' validity for travel. If you do need to renew, make sure you leave enough time, especially during peak travel season.
- Pack for your bag to be lost. Leave anything you can't bare to loose behind. Pack a change of clothes, something that folds fairly small, and anything that you will need to get settled into your carry-on luggage. Things such as hotel or car vouchers, travel documents, and medicine should be kept in your carry-on as well.
- Some airlines restrict sizes and weights for carry-on luggage. Check with your travel agent or your air line carrier to see what the restrictions are. If you get to the airport and you have to check your bag into the cargo area there will be a fee to pay. Most airlines are now charging for checked luggage and they are strict on the size and the weight of those bags.
- See if you can do online check-in for your airline. Most airlines allow you to check-in online and when you "check" your bags online you pay less than if you wait to do it at the counter.
Don't forget to leave your comments or questions and I will do my best to answer them for you.
