First time flying?
Numerous first-time flyers worry or are quite nervous about arriving at the airport without the necessary paperwork to go through the check-in process at the airport. We breakdown the necessary travel documents that you need to make your experience smoother.
The key documents that you need are:
- Passport/ID: Ensure that it’s up to date (at least 6 months to expiry, especially if you’re travelling international).
- Travel insurance: This provides medical assistance, personal accident cover, reimbursement for travel delay and loss of property or any other travel-related hiccups arising during the trip. Read through, print out the insurance policy documents and bring them with you to the airport.
- E-Ticket: You can either print your e-ticket or present it on your smartphone screen at the check-in desk once at the airport. We advocate that you save the trees as the airline already has this information and will confirm once you hand your passport/ID at check- in.
- Visa: This document shows you have permission to enter a country for a certain length of time as it usually has the dates and duration you are allowed to stay and if you have the right to work.
- COVID vaccination certificate. Health travel documents are not new to international travel. This could range from the yellow fever certificate to God forbid the next pandemic that will promulgate.
A life without journeys is one not lived at all let’s spread smiles across the globe.
