Fly safe with our top travel tips…
- Do arrive at your departure airport at the recommended time for check-in. For some international flights you are required to arrive 2 – 3 hours before your flight departs. If you are late you risk missing your flight.
- Do consider checking-in online. Many airlines allow you to check-in for your flight using their website facilities several hours or days in advance, saving you valuable time on the day.
- Do read the airline’s guides on what you can and cannot pack in your hand luggage. For disallowed items consider packing them in your checked baggage instead.
- Don’t let anyone else pack your bags for you. If they do you risk having your luggage searched by airport security.
- Don’t forget to make your checked luggage ‘recognisable’ so you can easily pick it up off the luggage carousel when you land.
- Don’t forget to add a label to your luggage with your name and address. If your luggage is lost at the airport or during transfer, airline staff can easily reunite it with you when it is labelled and easily identifiable.
