INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAVEL PACKING TIPS

Executive Summary about Travel Tip by Chika Nwaka , Quentin Shires and Edit by a.hbo

Packing for international travel can be a challenge. Each airline has its own regulations for baggage allowance, and airport security can be difficult to negotiate. Place Valuables in Carry-on Luggage

Carry-on luggage can be used to pack a day's change of clothes as well as essentials and valuables that cannot easily be replaced at the destination. It's also a good place to put documents, non-liquid medications, smaller electronics and heavy items, such as books, that do not fit into your checked baggage because of weight restrictions. For ease of access, place your essential travel documents --- passport, ticket or ticket reference number and customs forms --- in an easy-to-reach part of your handbag or carry-on.

Weigh Luggage Carefully Before Getting to Airport
Baggage policies for check-in luggage vary by airline, so check with their website before you travel for specifics on maximum weight allowed, number of free baggage allowed per passenger, excess baggage fees and items that need to be handled specially. To avoid unnecessary expenses at the airport, weigh your bags beforehand and distribute weight evenly among them. Also, consider placing some of your heavier items, like books or shoes, in smaller bags (or in your hand luggage).

Pack for Your Destination .Secure Your Belongings
Make sure your address and telephone number are on the luggage tag as well as inside the luggage to increase your chances of recovering it if it becomes misplaced. Also, to prevent mix-ups at the baggage claim area, make sure you can easily identify your bags by tying a small ribbon around the handles. To secure your belongings inside the luggage and prevent accidental spills on your clothing, secure liquid containers by placing them in plastic bags or by putting plastic over the cap before screwing on the cap. Remember, aerosol cans should not be carried on board as the decompressed nature of the cabin may cause them to explode.

Tips for Traveling With Crutches

Although traveling can be more difficult on crutches, if you plan ahead you can have a more comfortable journey.Navigating the AirportTransportation Security Administration rules require that all crutches undergo X-ray screening. Screening agents, therefore, must assist all passengers who have mobility issues until they are able to pick up their crutches. Airlines are also required to assist travelers who use crutches. When booking your ticket, inform the customer service operator that you use crutches so the airline can issue you a pre-boarding pass. Pre-boarding passes allow passengers to board the plane first and get settled before general boarding begins.

Consider traveling with a pair of collapsible crutches. Collapsible crutches fold up and can easily fit in your seat pocket, under your seat or in the overhead bins. Before traveling, talk to your doctor about the best kinds of collapsible crutches; they come in both forearm and traditional styles.

Carry-on baggage should be limited when you are traveling with crutches. Consider carrying a backpack instead. When packing carry-on luggage take only essential items in your backpack. Medications, passport, identification card, tickets and entertainment items all fit nicely in a backpack, allowing you easier mobility.

To help keep your backpack as light as possible, ask other family members if you can store other essentials in their carry-on luggage. A change of clothes and personal care items are important if you are traveling on a longer flight and will provide you with solace if your checked baggage gets lost.

Hotel Accommodations
Ask if the hotel has an elevator and rooms that are handicapped-accessible. If the hotel does not have an elevator, request a room on the first floor.

Recreation Activities
Just because you are on crutches doesn't mean you have to stay in your hotel room. Many tourist attractions and recreational facilities cater to people with mobility issues. Consider renting a wheelchair. Or call ahead to see if the museum or attraction you are visiting has loaner wheelchairs.

TIP MENIKMATI PERCUTIAN LEBIH BERMAKNA .



TIDAK kira istilah yang diberi dan matlamatnya, perkara wajib apabila melancong atau mengembara sudah tentu untuk mengetahui lebih mendalam negara yang kita lawati. Terpulang kepada cara, yang penting bagaimana kita menikmatinya. Dan adakah ia berbaloi atau tidak? Adakah ia cukup sekadar membeli-belah dan selfie bersama mercu tanda di setiap destinasi?. Sebenarnya, ia lebih daripada itu. Cuma, segalanya bergantung kepada kita sendiri.

Sepanjang pengalaman saya, ada beberapa tip yang mungkin kita boleh kongsikan bersama. Pelbagai tempat ada pelbagai pengalaman, cerita dan cara untuk menikmatinya.
Mungkin secara sedar atau tidak. Sepanjang pengalaman saya, kadang kala bukan tempat atau mercu tanda yang boleh mendatangkan kepuasan dan mempelajari sesuatu budaya dengan lebih mendalam, sebaliknya beberapa perkara. Antaranya adalah seperti berikut:

» Makanan - Lihat dan pergi ke pasar malam atau apa juga festival, pasti ada makanan yang menjadi ikon di negara yang dilawati. Selain murah, kita dapat mencuba kepelbagaian dan kenikmatannya. Lupakan sebentar nasi lemak, roti canai atau teh tarik. Mengapa tidak mencuba pirogi yang menjadi makanan utama di Poland atau kustoscalacs di Hungary sebagai sarapan atau snek. Sudah tentu anda pasti akan menjadikannya sebagai salah satu pengalaman pulang ke kampung halaman. Tidak mustahil makanan tersebut akan menjadi hidangan anda selepas ini. Kepada ‘kaki’ Instagram, ini peluang terbaik untuk dikongsi bersama. Sekurang-kurangnya pengalaman itu memberi info kepada rakan-rakan. Cuma bagi yang Muslim, pastikan status halalnya dahulu.

» Belajar bahasa tempatan - Seperti saya katakan, satu perkataan boleh membawa pelbagai kisah atau mungkin boleh mengundang padah. Bahasa tidak menjadi penghalang untuk berkomunikasi walau dari mana sekalipun seseorang itu. Cuma anda perlu berhati-hati kerana sebutan anda mungkin membawa maksud yang berlainan.

» Gunakan pengangkutan awam - Sesak atau leceh bukan alasan. Jika anda keluar pada waktu pagi ketika hari bekerja, anda akan dapat melihat pelbagai kerenah dan cara hidup mereka. Cara bekerja, peraturan dan mentaliti. Segalanya anda pelajari dengan mendalam. Malah, mungkin boleh dipraktikkan. Saya sendiri telah mencubanya. Selain itu, bagi kaum Adam, inilah masa mencuci mata!.

» Pergi tempat tumpuan orang tempatan - Sama ada membeli-belah atau makan, cuba pilih tempat yang menjadi pilihan orang tempatan. Mengapa? sudah tentu harganya lebih murah. Kawasan yang menjadi tumpuan pelancong, sudah tentu mahal dan kadang kala membosankan umpama indah khabar dari rupa.

» Bergaul dan lakukan aktiviti bersama penduduk tempatan - Tip ini sangat berguna jika anda mengembara atau melancong bersendirian atau dalam kumpulan yang kecil. Kerja sukarela adalah jalan terbaik. Anda mungkin boleh tinggal di satu-satu tempat dengan lebih lama. Kebanyakan di negara Eropah, ada organisasi yang menyediakan tempat tinggal percuma. Jadi, mengapa tidak jika anda seorang budget traveller.

» Pakaian - Ada sebahagian tempat atau destinasi yang menganjurkan pelbagai festival dengan tema tertentu. Red Indian, koboi atau viking. Terpulang untuk menjadi watak apa. Jangan terkejut jika anda turut mendapat layanan lebih ‘istimewa’ berbanding penduduk tempatan. Oleh itu, cubalah berpakaian seperti mereka.
