Planning your journey the right way
- Before visiting any destination whether it be one you’ve visited multiple times before or somewhere brand new - you should always check the FCO travel advice. This is to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information about the destination you’re travelling to and for you to account for any change in rules or legislation.

We would always recommend booking travel
insurance ahead of your trip and if you have annual cover make sure it is still
valid for the dates of your holiday. Ensure you take a copy of your insurance
documentation with you whether it’s printed out or on an email. For more
dedicated advice around insurance, make sure you check out our insurance page.
- Always allow plenty of time to get to the airport,
station or port to account for any unexpected things that may be happening which
could cause delays.
- Always make a note of the number to dial for the
emergency services in your chosen destination so you’re aware of how to do this
should you need to.
- Select a friend or family member to be your
emergency contact. Ensure they have a copy of your full holiday itinerary,
including the provider you’re travelling with, hotel address, contact details
and your departure and arrival dates.
- Always check the luggage policy ahead of
arriving at the airport including the weight, size specifications and carry
instructions.
- Make sure you carry any prescription medication
in your hand luggage and have the accompanying prescription to go with it.
- Always have a copy of your passport and VISA
information with you and keep them in a safe place throughout your holiday.
