Make sure your ID\/passports are valid and if you\u2019re travelling overseas make sure you\u2019re familiar with any Visa regulations\/restrictions of the country you\u2019re travelling to. As a general rule, make sure your passport always has 2 blank pages available and is valid for at least 6 months from the date you return to South Africa.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211; You should read: <a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/how-to-renew-your-south-african-passport\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to renew your SA passport<\/a> &#8211;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 16px;\">2. Children and Infants must have their own passports for international travel.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">3. Travel insurance is a must and you can even get it online in a few easy steps. Check out <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 16px;\" title=\"Online Travel Insurance\" href=\"http:\/\/www.travelsafe.co.za\" target=\"_blank\">www.travelsafe.co.za<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">4. Make copies of all your important travel documents and your itinerary and leave these with someone you trust. Also keep copies of all your important documents in a safe corner of cyberspace so you can access them from anywhere.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">5. Reconfirm your flights or do online check 24 hours before you depart.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">6. Request special meals and seating (don\u2019t forget child meals) more than 24 hours before you travel.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">7. If you\u2019re renting a car make sure you have your driver\u2019s license, a copy of your vehicle voucher and a credit card with funds available for the excess deposit.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">8. Elderly\/infant travellers should request additional assistance with the airline at least 72 hours before travel.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">9. Keep a pen handy for all those pesky arrivals forms that need to be completed.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">10. Charge all your phones, laptops, tablets etc. before you travel and remember to pack the chargers with the correct adapters for use at your destination.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">11. Pack a small medical aid kit \u2013 medication available in other countries is often not the same as the medication available in South Africa.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">12. Find out if you qualify for entry into any of the airport lounges as offered by some banks and airlines.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">13. Arrange your transport to the airport \u2013 remember the traffic and take this into account when calculating time needed. Remember, you should be at the airport at least 1 hour before a domestic flight and at least 3 hours before an international flight.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2>On the day of travel\u2026<\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">14. Allow extra time for check in \u2013 flights can be over booked and airports are busy in peak season.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">15. Take kids entertainment and snacks with you.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">16. Keep carry on liquids under 100mls as per LAGS.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">17. Flying with prescription medication? Keep a copy of your prescription.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">18. Check the airline luggage restrictions \u2013 they are always strict but particularly when flights are full.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">19. Don\u2019t forget to lock your luggage and\/or have it vacuum wrapped at the airport (allow additional time for this as the queues can be long).<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">20. Check your travel date and time carefully. For example, if you\u2019re on the KLM flight from Cape Town \u2013 Amsterdam which departs at 00:25 you will need to be at the airport the night before.<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know you\u2019re busy wrapping up the year, so we\u2019ve created a list of tips and tricks for travel this festive season to use as a quick reference guide.
