Some of these may seem terribly obvious, but you’d be surprised how often people forgot them:
1 ) Always get to the airport early…Give yourself as much time as possible.
2 ) Watch out for pickpockets – they really are everywhere, and there’s nothing worse than realising you’ve lost your wallet/mobile or even your passport.
3 ) If you are afraid of being mugged, keep a spare wallet with a little bit of money in in your pocket but keep your real wallet hidden away somewhere so, if you are unfortunate and get mugged, you’re not losing all your money.
4 )That being said, Always make sure you keep your handbag where you can see it when you’re out.
5 ) Taking travelers cheques instead of large sums of money.
6 ) Photocopy all your documents and credit cards, and leave a copy at home. It makes it easier if you need to get things cancelled.
7 ) Always confirm your flights. It’s something many people don’t bother doing.
8 ) Always keep an itinerary – I always keep an A4 folder with all stuff in it – tickets for ticketless airlines, flight details, hotel bookings, places of interest and all that jazz.
9 ) There is no such thing as being too prepared!!
