HOW TO TRAVEL LIKE A PRO

travel like a pro

We all want to look like confident travellers, but half the time we have no idea where to find our passport, how to pack our cases or no idea what to do in a flight delay. However, to help you become a more assured traveller, here’s how to travel like a professional…

Do Your Homework

Don’t turn up at your destination and ask the hotel staff about the best places to eat, drink and dine. Instead, do your homework before you travel to ensure you visit the best places across your chosen destination, which will allow you to make the most of your experience.

While it is always helpful to ask the hotel staff about the best places to visit, they might have little knowledge themselves or might be less clued up than you are, especially when it comes to tourism spots they regularly take for granted. Make an informed choice with the help of mrhudsonexplores.com.

Check-in Online

Skip the annoying airport queues and check into your flight online the day before your journey. You can often print off your boarding pass or have it sent to your smartphone. Airports prefer you to check-in online to eliminate significant queues and some airlines have even started charging for printing off boarding passes at the airport.

Correctly Pack a Carry-On Case

You can eliminate all the trouble with check luggage by simply learning how to pack your carry-on case. Instead of spending hours waiting for your case to be unloaded off the plane, or having to sort lost luggage, you can just walk off the plane, through the security gates and onto your hotel transfer. The best way to successfully pack your carry-on case is to pick staple items that work in different ways throughout your trip, which will eliminate your need for multiple clothing items you don’t really need or will wear. Remember, most destinations will have the essentials you will need, such as toiletries, beach towels and cosmetics, so don’t fill your luggage with unnecessary products.

Flight Delays

So many travellers don’t know their rights when it comes to flight delays, which is why you should look up your entitlement should you endure a delayed flight. For example, if you depart from an EU airport and experience a flight delay of more than three hours, you could be entitled to compensation, and the airline is also required to provide food and drink airport vouchers, as well as overnight accommodation, if required.

Comfortable Footwear

Most tourists make the big mistake of packing the wrong footwear on their travels, only to be left with sore feet after a busy day of walking. While those high heels might make you feel as fabulous as Carrie Bradshaw in New York, you will feel less glamorous an hour later when walking block after block across the busy city. Opt for sensible footwear that will ensure you’re not stuck in the hotel with your feet in a bucket of ice water.
