A low headline price is only one part of a booking. Check what is included and whether the conditions suit your plans.
Match passenger names to the identification you will use when travelling.
Check the exact airport, travel dates and local arrival times—especially overnight journeys.
Compare the final total, baggage or meal inclusions, and change or cancellation conditions.
Keep the booking reference and confirmation somewhere you can access offline.
One last check: read the details for the option you selected, not just the search summary.
02 · PACKING
Pack around your itinerary
Make a short list for the weather, activities and length of your stay. Start with essentials rather than filling every space.
Choose clothes that can be worn in more than one combination.
Keep travel documents and essential contact details accessible.
Check your airline’s current baggage allowance and restricted-item guidance before packing.
Leave some space for items you may bring home.
03 · FLIGHT DAY
Make airport day simpler
Build your departure plan around the airline’s check-in and boarding deadlines, allowing time for your journey to the airport.
Recheck the terminal and flight status before setting out.
Follow the airline’s arrival-time guidance for your particular flight.
Keep your booking reference and required identification ready.
For connections, check the airports, terminals and whether baggage needs to be collected again.
04 · HOTEL STAYS
Book the stay, not just the room
A useful location and the right room arrangements can make a bigger difference than a long list of facilities.
Check the property address and your transport plans.
Confirm occupancy, bed arrangements and meal inclusions for the selected room.
Read check-in and check-out times, identification requirements, and any stated deposits or additional charges.
Contact the property about late arrival or special requests. Treat requests as unconfirmed until acknowledged.
05 · FAMILY TRAVEL
Leave a little breathing room
Plan fewer activities on travel days and allow time for breaks. A flexible itinerary can be easier for everyone to enjoy.
Enter each child’s age accurately for the date requested by the booking form.
Check the room’s child policy and whether an extra bed is included or chargeable.
Keep a small selection of familiar activities within reach.
Verify seating requests and family arrangements directly in your confirmed booking.
