Vital Tips to Make International Travel Smoother and Easier

9 July 2015 By: Guest Writercomment

Traveling to a new place involves making some major decisions like which place to visit, how much cash to carry, how much to spend and how much to save and finally making the most important decision of making the air-fare purchase. While this is the bigger picture, beyond this, there are some small things that can make an international trip easier and smoother. Most people go on business trips and the only sites they see are those that are visible from their hotel window as they’re too busy rushing from one meeting to another. Irrespective of which kind of trip you’re going on, there are a few steps that you can take in order to ease off an overseas journey. Let’s check them out.

1. Grasp a hotel business card: This is a trick to ensure that you don’t get lost at a new place. Whenever you arrive at an overseas hotel, take a business card from the reception so that you can always carry the address and name of the hotel in the local language of that place. Most of the people throughout the world speak in English but it is rather safer to carry something in their local language so that you can at least show the local drivers and get back to the destination.

2. Pack all your essentials carefully: According to recent statistics, on an average, it has been seen that at least one bag in every flight gets either delayed or lost. Hence, if there are things that you can’t do without, make sure you pack it in your carry-on. These are the items that can’t be easily replaced like lightweight raincoat or running shoes. You can get through the security faster in the airport if you can pack them in your carry-on.

3. Carry old currency along with you: Exchanging the currency of the foreign land after you return back home can be a big hassle, especially because most people don’t spend much time in the bank these days. If you’re traveling abroad with their currency and you find any extra currency lying around, take it with you when you next time cross international borders. Then when you get some local currency, exchange it from any other country at the same time.

4. Remember the 6 month passport rule: The date of expiration on your United States passport is most often deceiving. They allow you to use it till the date that is there inside the cover. However, there are several countries that don’t allow travellers to enter if the passport is supposed to expire within the next 6 months. What is the reason? If you get stuck overseas for a longer time than the scheduled time, that country would like to ensure that you have a valid passport. If you’re someone who is getting a new passport , you should try to comprehend such issues.

Hence, if you’re about to plan an international plan, make sure you follow the above mentioned points in order to make the trip easier and smoother.
