What About Travel Arrangements?

If you are travelling in the summer, you will need to make your reservations as early as possible due to heavy bookings on most airlines. The further ahead you book, the cheaper the tickets, but it may be more difficult to change the dates later.

The luggage allowance is usually 20 kilos and 1 item of hand luggage. Don’t take any more than you can manage to carry yourself and NEVER let anyone you don’t know help you with your luggage. It may well disappear!

Keep valuable items to a minimum and on your person. Carry as little cash as possible, and keep all travellers cheques and your passport in a money belt under your clothing. If you get into these habits early on, you’ll find that they become second nature.

It is advisable to take out a medical insurance policy covering accident and sickness. Most travel agents will offer you a reasonable deal including luggage and personal effects.
