An air trip can easily be ruined when something goes wrong. Don't take the risk - use this list of tips to help plan and execute your air trip without mishaps. This is a useful checklist for any air traveler. Check your passport expiry date. Ideally it needs to be valid for at least six months beyond your travel return date. Some countries actually require that your passport be valid for at least six months into the future. Decide what you will be taking onboard as hand luggage and what you will be consigning separately. Do this several days before you plan to travel as it may affect your luggage plans and even the method of booking your flight. Make sure you know what luggage restrictions may apply. Confirm the flight dates and times for all parts of your trip to make sure that it matches up with your ticket information, hotel bookings and so on. Make copies of your air travel itinerary and your passport photo page, and leave copies with your workplace and family members or friends. This is a very useful contingency in case you suffer a mishap or in case you need to be contacted in an emergency. Remember to include phone numbers and addresses of where you can be contacted at each stage of your journey. When traveling internationally make sure that you have any visas that may be required. Verify if there are business or tourist visas and which one best suits the purpose of your travel. Make photocopies of your passport, visas and any other pertinent travel documents. Pack copies in your luggage as a contingency in case your original documents are lost or stolen. If you use special medication or if you have special medical needs or allergies create a brief report and have it translated into the language of your travel destination. You made need this information in an emergency so keep the document with you. When you travel abroad, if you are not familiar with the local language it's a good idea to know some key phrases. Simply prepare a short list of words such as: yes, no, please, thank you, where is, help, and so on. All you need is a small slip of paper showing the translations of a dozen or so words that you may have to use. Thieves and opportunists also travel by air. Therefore do not assume that the airline cabin is a theft-free zone. Never leave valuables on or near your airline seat - always take them with you when leaving your seat. Airports are places where opportunists and thieves go with the intention of stealing. You should constantly be aware of your surroundings while in the airport.
