Practical steps
Use airline guidance for check-in, baggage and terminal details, and allow a traffic buffer. Recheck your airline’s latest terminal, baggage and check-in guidance before departure, and allow extra time for traffic and document checks.
Before departure, check passport validity, visa or residency conditions, airline baggage rules and the latest entry requirements for your destination. Keep booking references and document copies accessible offline as well as in a secure cloud account.
- Check passport validity, entry rules and airline requirements close to the departure date.
- Keep booking references, insurance details and essential document copies available offline.
- Allow time for traffic, check-in and terminal changes, and keep a backup plan for delays.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming entry rules or airline baggage terms have not changed since the booking.
- Keeping the only copy of essential documents online or in checked baggage.
- Allowing no buffer for traffic, check-in queues or schedule changes.
Build a buffer for airport travel and check the flight status directly with the airline. For a document or visa question, use the responsible government authority rather than relying only on a social-media post.
