Important Information to Help You Prepare for Your Trip

Before You Travel

Everything You Need to Know Before You Go

At NowFlexiTrip, we want your journey to begin smoothly. Taking a few minutes to prepare before you travel can help avoid unnecessary delays and make your trip more enjoyable.

Use this guide as a handy checklist before leaving for the airport.


1. Check Your Travel Documents

Before travelling, make sure you have all the documents required for your journey.

Passport

  • Check that your passport is valid for your destination.
  • Some countries require your passport to remain valid for several months beyond your return date.
  • Ensure your passport is in good condition and has sufficient blank pages if required.

Visas & Entry Requirements

Depending on your destination, you may need:

  • A visa
  • Electronic travel authorisation (such as an ESTA or eTA)
  • Health declarations
  • Arrival or customs forms

It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the entry requirements for every country you plan to visit.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance before departure.

Your policy should ideally include cover for:

  • Medical emergencies
  • Trip cancellation
  • Travel disruption
  • Lost or delayed baggage
  • Personal belongings

2. Review Your Booking

Before travelling, carefully check your booking confirmation.

Confirm that:

  • Passenger names exactly match your passport.
  • Travel dates are correct.
  • Flight times are accurate.
  • Hotel and transfer details are correct.
  • Any optional extras have been added successfully.

If you notice any errors, contact us as soon as possible.


3. Check Your Flight Information

Airlines may occasionally adjust flight schedules.

Before travelling, verify:

  • Departure time
  • Arrival time
  • Departure terminal (where available)
  • Online check-in availability

We recommend checking your flight status directly with the airline before leaving for the airport.


4. Baggage Information

Every airline has its own baggage policy.

Before departure, confirm:

  • Cabin baggage allowance
  • Checked baggage allowance
  • Weight limits
  • Size restrictions
  • Any additional baggage fees

Travelling with baggage that exceeds your airline's allowance may result in additional airport charges.

Restricted Items

Many airports restrict or prohibit certain items in cabin baggage.

These may include:

  • Liquids exceeding permitted limits
  • Sharp objects
  • Flammable materials
  • Certain batteries and electronic devices

Please refer to your airline's guidance before packing.


5. Airport Arrival & Check-In

To allow sufficient time for check-in and security procedures, we recommend arriving:

  • Approximately 3 hours before international flights
  • Approximately 2 hours before domestic flights

Where available, online check-in can help reduce waiting times at the airport.

Many airlines open online check-in between 24 and 48 hours before departure.


6. Health & Wellbeing

Before travelling, check whether your destination has any health recommendations or entry requirements.

These may include:

  • Recommended vaccinations
  • Health documentation
  • Local medical guidance

If you take prescription medication, carry it in your hand luggage together with any supporting documentation if required.


7. Money & Local Information

Before travelling, it's worth preparing for your destination.

Consider:

  • Local currency
  • Card acceptance
  • Exchange rates
  • International transaction fees
  • Local customs and cultural practices

Some hotels may also request a refundable security deposit or charge local tourism taxes during check-in.


8. Transfers & Local Transport

If your booking includes airport transfers, check your travel documents carefully before departure.

Make sure you know:

  • Meeting point
  • Transfer provider details
  • Contact information
  • Pick-up instructions

If transfers are not included, planning your transport in advance can help make your arrival easier.


9. Hotel Arrival

Before arriving at your accommodation, have the following ready:

  • Passport or identification
  • Hotel confirmation
  • Booking reference
  • Payment card if required for incidental charges or security deposits

Also check your hotel's published check-in and check-out times.


10. Keep Important Contact Details Handy

Before travelling, save copies of your:

  • Booking confirmation
  • Flight itinerary
  • Hotel confirmation
  • Travel insurance policy
  • Passport
  • Emergency contacts
