Make the first hour simple
Check the current itinerary, the airline’s check-in instructions and the documents each traveller must carry. Put essentials where they can be reached without unpacking a bag in a queue.
For an international journey, confirm destination entry rules and any conditions at a transit point. Passport validity requirements may extend beyond the dates printed on a ticket.
Keep a route note nearby
Save booking references, accommodation information and useful contacts. Revisit official travel advice before departure, particularly if the route has changed.
