There is nothing like taking a break from the humdrum of daily routine and packing your bags to go on a holiday abroad. The prospect of making great new memories is irresistible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Blame it on the excitement or the last minute rush but there are some details that slip our mind. You don\u2019t have to go an extra mile to take care of them. Just a simple phone call, email or a quick trip to the local store is good enough. We have a final checklist for you to tally before you head for the perfect airport look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"section-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updated documents<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Passport, photocopies<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Extra photos<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Driver\u2019s Permit<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Make sure your passport is up to date.

They also roll better and faster on uneven surfaces. Carry a small duffle bag, as you will not be lugging your suitcase everywhere once you reach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"section-3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel advisories<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Travel-Advisory-1.jpg\" alt=\"Travel Advisory-10 Boxes to tick before you fly\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Check MEA website<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Airline alerts<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Traveler&#8217;s review<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Check for travel alerts and warnings regarding the destination country.
