Travel Tips

It’s important to bear certain things in mind that will make your travels even smoother. Some mishaps can be avoided, although some are just part of the journey because not everything can be scheduled perfectly.  

Nevertheless, here are some of the best travel tips and tricks to help save money, prevent errors and travel like a pro!

BOOK EARLY FOR CHEAP FLIGHTS

You should book your travel often, well in advance. Most of the time, the earlier you book, the better deals you get. Wakanow.com reviews hundreds of places for the cheapest fares, includes both Economy, Premium Economy, Business class and First class.

BE FLEXIBLE

Schedule for delays and also try not to get frustrated when things go wrong. Patience is highly necessary when preparing to travel! About a week or so before each trip, make a mental list of things you don’t want to forget.

ALWAYS BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE

A medical emergency can wipe out your savings — or even worse. Through taking out travel insurance, you effectively protect yourself from travel threats such as missing or stolen baggage, cancelation insurance (if you are unable to travel due to unknown medical reasons).

Considering that the risk of a tiny medical emergency abroad might affect the whole holiday expenditure, it gives one peace of mind.

MAKE PHOTOCOPIES AND/OR SCANS OF IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS

Let’s discuss why it is necessary to have a copy of your travel documents.

Losing your shoes can be a real headache on a trip. This error can cost you money to repair them, but missing your identification and travel documentation is even worse for three reasons:

  • It takes a long time to replace them
  • In a foreign country, they are even more difficult to replace
  • Depending on what you lose, you might not be able to get home on your schedule – and that could cost you even more money.

PRE-PLAN YOUR OUTFITS

Don’t be a last minute person. Before flying, preparing all your clothes would save you a lot of hassle. Plan what you’re going to wear in the morning, day and night or for that special dinner.

INCLUDE ESSENTIAL ITEMS

Prepare for the worse and pack all the necessary drugs as your hand luggage so that you have access to it no matter what. As any traveler knows, things don’t always go as expected, and there’s no guarantee your baggage will arrive on time. Also include electronics, toothbrush, and an extra pair of underwear in your bags.  Not only could your electronics get damaged on the way, but there’s the possibility of theft as well. In that case, most airlines will not take the responsibility for stolen or defective gadgets.

LEARN COMMON PHRASES OF THE LOCAL LANGUAGE

Terms like Please, Thank You, Excuse Me and numbers 1 to 10 are relevant for nearly any travel situation. Moreover, as you embark on your trip, a few other phrases are important to understand. There are phrases and questions that you often need to know in order to communicate with locals to countries whose official language is unfamiliar to yours, to make everyday life simpler.

AUTOMATE YOUR BILLS

Set up online bill paying for your annual payments to make sure you don’t miss out overseas. If you’re on a two-week holiday, it may not be necessary. You also have the choice to speak to a family member to make that payment. You’ll also want to cancel your phone plans to those that are more user-friendly or purchase SIM cards overseas.

Bon Voyage!
