Travel Tips |
| |
|
-
To beat jetlag, book an overnight flight or one that arrives in the
evening when travelling east so that you can either catch up on your
sleep on the flight or as soon as you arrive at your destination.
- To prevent the swelling of feet as is wont to happen on long flights, walk in the aisle at intervals.
- Refrain from over-dosing or the free booze when on a flight, as too
much alcohol causes dehydration. Tank up instead on aqua-pure.
- When making flight reservation, remember to request for special meals if you have any food restrictions.
- After September 11, airlines follow very strict security procedures. So
make sure you reach the airport for check- in well before departure
time. It is best to check with the airline regarding how much in
advance you should be at the airport.
- If your baggage
does not arrive on the same flight as yours, fill out a Property
Irregularity Report (PIR), with a description of the baggage, a list of
contents and address to which it should be forwarded. If your baggage
does not arrive at all, place a claim with the airline within 21 days.
- Overbooking is a fact of life in the airline industry. If you are in no
particular hurry to get to your destination, do volunteer to give up
your seat and take the next flight. The airline will provide you a
hotel room and other frills, so you can end up having an extended
vacation at the airlines expense!
- Do not accept any package from a stranger.
- For a smooth ride on a plane, choose the seats located near the wings
as, if the plane hits an air pocket, this is where you will get the
least amount of bumps.
- If you are planning to watch
the in- flight movie, choose the fourth or fifth row from the screen to
avoid getting a neck cramp.
- If you are prone to motion
sickness, take an anti sickness pill before the flight. The pill won't
help much, if you have it after you have started feeling sick!
- Abide by the list of items prohibited on board and carry most items
like skis/cues/walking canes/sticks/Swiss knives in check- in baggage -
this smoothens the check-in process and avoids the risk of confiscation
and unnecessary delays.
- Last and this is equally
important – urgently report any unattended items in the airport or
aircraft to the nearest airport or airline personnel.
Weather Vane
- Keep track of the weather at your destination and be prepared, especially if you are going to a hurricane prone area.
|
| Pack Tight |
- Remember to carry a voltage converter so that all your electrical
gadgets are compatible with electrical outlets in foreign destinations.
- Equip yourself with a Swiss knife or a penknife. A watertight wallet is a good idea if you’re travelling to the sea - side.
-
Instead of carrying the regular iron that takes up a lot of place in
your suitcase, carry a travel iron for your business suits and evening
dresses. You’ll find it in most travel shops. You can also avoid
wrinkling your clothes if you roll and pack them.
-
Most
hotels frown on guests doing their own laundry in the bathrooms, but if
you do need to wash some smalls, carry a length of nylon twine to
improvise a clothesline.
-
On long-haul trips, stick to lightweight, drip-dry garments that require little ironing and maintenance.
-
When choosing your travel wardrobe, remember that dirt does not show up
as easily on busy prints, dark colours and polyester fabrics, so prefer
these to light-coloured solids unless you're planning to do a lot of
laundry!

| Medicine Box when traveling |
-
Pack a
small first – aid kit of over- the- counter medicines equipped to deal
with small health hazards. A tube of antiseptic, band-aids, pills for
migraines, headaches and stomach upsets are essential.
-
Carry a medical prescription if you suffer from any chronic illness.
Make sure that you have the generic name of the drug, as brand names
differ in countries.
-
If you’re allergic to a particular drug, it’s advisable to keep a note about it in your wallet.
-
Carry water purifying pills if you’re planning to travel into rural
areas where you might not get bottled or purified water. Just drop one
into the water and that will ensure that your stomach stays fine.
-
Contact lenses: Carry an extra pair of prescription glasses plus a copy
of your lens prescription. Carrying a torch makes those floor crawling
search exercises easier. If you are on the floor looking for your
contact lenses with a torch, remember to keep the beam parallel to the
ground.
|
| |
| Travel Bags & Baggage |
- Tie a coloured ribbon or a luggage belt around your suitcase so you can easily identify it on the conveyor belt.
- Travelling light is a boon especially if you have a long wait at the
airport between flights. You are less likely to set down light baggage
and leave it unattended while you browse through an airport shop or use
the toilet.
- Planning to shop on your travels? Just
flatten an empty airbag at the bottom of your suitcase. Use this to
stuff dirty linen at the end of your trip, and voila! You have an extra
bag! Make sure the bag has double zip pulls for a padlock.

| Tips when Travelling with a Child |
- If you’re travelling with a toddler, ask for bulkhead seats that give
more leg space. If you’re sharing the seat, ask for a separate seat
belt.
- Remember to give your child a drink before take
off and landing that will keep his/her ears more comfortable. Even
sucking on a sweet will do.
- If you’re travelling with a toddler, carry a change both for the child and for yourself.
- If you’re sharing a seat with your child, airlines do not serve extra food so carry baby food.
|
| |
| List of Travel Documents |
- Pack extra passport size photographs in case you need to get a duplicate passport made or need a visa extension.
- Carry copies of birth certificates, passport and visas in case you lose your originals.
- Why be flummoxed by tricky currency conversion every time you are
shopping abroad? Carry a currency conversion cheat-sheet cut to credit
card size and slip it into your wallet to check discreetly.
- Carry your State and International driving license if you plan to drive in a foreign country.
- Never carry large amounts of cash. Use Traveller's Cheques or credit
cards for most purchases, but first make sure they are accepted in
the areas you will be visiting.
-
Money, Traveller's Cheques, and
credit cards should be divided into several portions. Large bills,
cheques, and at least one credit card should be kept on the person in a
money pouch or belt that is not readily accessible or obvious.

| List of Health Documents while traveling |
- If you’re coming from a yellow fever area, be sure you have your health certificate.
- Some countries make it mandatory for you to have travel medical
insurance to enable you to get a visa - check with your travel agent on
this
|
| |
| Travel Insurance |
- It’s always a good
idea to be insured when you’re travelling. The cover depends on the
premium you pay but basic areas covered include medical costs, lost
baggage and passports, losses incurred due to flight delays,
cancellations etc, personal liability and legal fees.
- When travelling abroad, check with your medical insurance provider on
how to reach a representative while you are abroad and how to obtain
compensation for any care received.
- Seek professional
advice from an insurance broker before you buy travel insurance. As
long as your insurance agent understand the nature of your travel, they
will draw up a comprehensive policy meeting all your requirements and
covering all the risks you could possibly be exposed to.
|
| |
| Heartbreak Hotel |
- Make your hotel reservations in advance, especially if
you are visiting a place in peak season. You don’t want to be caught
without a roof over your head!
- Don't depend solely on the
hotel's alarm service. Carry your own little alarm clock to catch an
early morning flight or that pre-dawn sightseeing trip.
- When
you check into your hotel, ask the reception to give you a card with
the hotel's name address and telephone number. This will come in handy
if you get lost or forget the name of your hotel.
- Check
whether your hotel has a hair-dryer, iron, coffee percolator, etc, to
avoid carrying these gadgets and also making it easy to skip the
110/220 conversion problem when travelling to foreign countries.
