Check documents and entry rules
Before booking, check passport validity, entry visas and any official travel advisories for your destination and nationality. Airline baggage and transit rules may differ from arrival-country rules. Keep an accessible offline copy of key booking details.
Pack a personal health kit
CDC recommends adapting a basic travel kit to your health, itinerary and activities. Bring regular medications in original packaging as appropriate and verify import restrictions. Pack sun protection, appropriate repellent and simple first-aid supplies.
Have a backup plan
Save emergency contact details, map access, accommodation information and travel insurance documents. Keep payment options separate and do not rely on a single phone, charging cable or account for everything.
