By Jane Farasi

Some basic but important international travel tips are always found useful whether your trip be business, holiday or visiting with friends and family.

Have an itinerary.

Have your plan of travel put together well in advance. This will include not just where you are going, but when you hope to get there. Note your departure and arrival dates and the fact that you may be crossing different time zones.

Inform those that are to meet you of your travel plan. Be familiar with your flight connections, regulations on baggage, switch of terminals and transit arrangements as appropriate.

For US citizens it is important to register your travel plans with the State Department in case of emergency.

One of the important international travel tips is that you be conversant with the laws, visa and other travel requirements of any foreign country that you will find yourself in, and especially your destination as these apply to you.

Documents and money.

Make sure your passport and visa are valid and ready in good time before your date of departure. Don't delay or miss your trip because your travel documents are not ready on time.

Be sure that if you need other documents like driver's licence they are valid and that you pack them.

Travellers cheques are still the safest and most convenient way to carry your money. Change it.

Health tips

Some destinations will require certain vaccinations. Find out and do the needful and get the valid vaccination certificates.

Besides these, get from your doctor adequate supplies and/or prescriptions if you are on medication. If you wear glasses carry an extra pair just in case of breakage.

These are all important international travel tips that will help you ensure that you don't get to where you are going and are refused entry for one reason or another. - 20765
