Documents and useful information
Keep your passport, confirmed travel documents, booking references, hotel addresses and emergency contact details organised. Retain an accessible offline copy of your itinerary. Check the current entry requirements for your nationality and travel arrangements.
Clothing and everyday essentials
Plan suitable clothing for your journey and religious practice, comfortable footwear, a compact day bag, basic toiletries and chargers with the correct adapter. Choose a luggage size that fits your airline allowance rather than assuming all tickets include the same baggage.
Personal requirements
Prepare personal essentials in advance. If you travel with prescribed medication or equipment, seek appropriate professional guidance and check the relevant travel rules; this checklist is not medical advice. Keep sensitive documents out of general enquiry messages.
One last check
Confirm your flight times, meeting points, transfer instructions and hotel details before departure. Share the itinerary with someone you trust. Make space in your plan for rest and review current official travel advice close to departure.
