Whilst preparing for a holiday is very exciting, it can also become a stressful situation especially when you want to make sure it goes perfectly and according to plan. The expert team at Sky Direct have got you covered! We’ve put together a simple guide to what you should pack and prepare before going on holiday.
One of the first things you would need to make sure is that you have all necessary travel documents all sorted in one place. This includes your passport, visa (if required), and boarding passes. We would also recommend having printed copies of your passport, ID, and travel insurance details in case anything gets misplaced. Bring some local currency for your destination and any credit/debit cards. It is wise to notify your bank of your travels to avoid your cards being blocked for security reasons.
The second most crucial thing is to ensure you pack suitable clothing based on your destination. For warm climates, clothing which is light and breathable. For colder climates pack clothing which can be layered and thick outerwear. It is also important to make sure your footwear is comfortable no matter where you are travelling to, so you can make the most of sightseeing and any planned activities – and don’t forget your swimsuit!
Pack a little bag with essential toiletries, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and skincare products. It is always a good idea to ensure you pack sunscreen and even insect repellents. Don’t forget to pack any prescription medication along with a copy of your prescription. For all your electricals, pack chargers and plug adapters for international sockets. It is a good idea to download any maps and travel guides onto your phone in case you don’t have internet access right away.
And finally, pack some snacks! No one wants to be hangry on them long haul flights. Bring a neck pillow or blanket for some added bits of comfort.
