If you are one of the millions of families planning to travel this holiday season, Priority passprogram that gives access to 1,500 VIP lounges in airports around the world, has created six essential tips to make your trip perfect:

1. Check your passport before booking your trip

Make sure all your important documents, including your passport, are up to date and valid for your trip to your destination. Otherwise, you will have time to apply for a new one cheaply and stress-free, or even change your destination if you are short on time to plan.

  • Remembering that a passport is required, even for children in your arms;
  • In the case of domestic travel, for minors accompanied by their parents, an identity document with photo or a birth certificate is required.

2. Leverage technology to plan your trip

Use apps and websites to search for places and activities you’d like to do. Read the reviews from other travelers about experiences and services can also help in choosing the best tours.

For those traveling by plane, airport VIP lounges are also a good option for those looking for comfort and other services. With the Priority Pass, travelers can enjoy experiences such as spas, sleeping pods, restaurants, AudioFitness WithU, which offers physical training, or consult the program’s app for more information on the services offered in living rooms.

3. Fight the dysrhythmia before, during and after the flight

Staying hydrated and exercising are essential to eliminating the symptoms of dysrhythmia, a phenomenon that occurs when there is a discrepancy between the internal biological cycle and the light and dark cycle of the new environment. Therefore, always keep an empty water bottle with you to refill after airport security checks and during your outings.

4. Check the airport rules to avoid inconvenience and even loss of personal belongings

Don’t get stuck at security checks for incorrect amounts of liquids in your carry-on bag or for having larger-than-allowed scissors, for example. Enjoy a smooth journey by checking the various rules at your destination airport before your trip.

5. Don’t get lost without Wi-Fi

Before you travel, download apps like Google Maps offline to help you when Wi-Fi access is limited. Don’t forget to download any shows and movies you’re watching, too!

6. Update your vaccinations and get travel insurance

Some countries require specific vaccines, inform yourself and update your vaccination record. For domestic travel it is important to check if the destination city is experiencing any type of epidemic and make sure vaccinations are up to date. And don’t forget to bring with you a supply of emergency medicines such as: painkillers, flu medicines, plasters, antacids.

Also, don’t forget to always get travel insurance to avoid complications in case you need medical attention. It’s a worthwhile investment because any eventuality could mean thousands of dollars in medical care and medicine.
