What to remember before you set off
Reduce the risk of adding time to your journey by organising passports, money, hotel documents, packing, measuring hand luggage, printing out boarding passes and laying out some comfortable travelling clothes on the night before you travel. Try not to pack away items you might need when you arrive, such as sunglasses, headphones, mobile phones, keys and loose change – it will save you a lot of worry the next day.
