Things to check before you fly

Prepare for your trip

Do you need a visa?

Some countries require visitors to have a visa, e-visa or tourist card before they can enter. If this is the case, make sure you have enough time to sort all the paperwork before your flight.

Do you need any vaccinations?

If you’re going somewhere tropical, you may need some inoculations before you go. If you’re flying last minute, check you’ve left yourself enough time for vaccinations.

When does your passport expire?

Some destinations require your passport to be valid for six months after you arrive. Check your passport before you book, as you may not be able to get a new one in time.

Do you have valid travel insurance?

With any trip, you should have travel insurance – and flying last minute is no different. If you don’t have insurance, it’s best to get this sorted as soon as possible.

Have you downloaded your airline's app?

Keep track of your flight with your airline’s app. You can check in with the touch of a button, and your boarding pass will be ready to go on your phone.

Foreign currency

If you exchange your currency at the airport, you’ll usually get a poor rate. It’s best to get your cash before you travel, or load some money on to a multi-currency card.
