There are many ways we could do to make our travel experience more comfortable and the most obvious to avoid packing more that we will actually wear during the entire trip. We should also count how many vitamins, supplements and medications we need during the travel and if possible, we should be able to replenish our stock of medication at the destination country. Having to send prescribed medications can be very costly. For business travellers, they can keep their clothing relatively wrinkle-free by rolling them up together. They could lay down pants, followed by long-sleeved items and then other items. We could also put our documents and important clothing inside plastic garbage bags to keep them from getting wet if somehow the luggage is exposed out in the rain. We could also bring a sheathed knife in our non carry on luggage, to allow us do simple tasks like cut up fruits in our room. If rely on glasses to see, we should make to bring another pair of glasses.
Also, even warm climates can get quite cold at night, so we should make sure to bring something warmer to wear. If we need to stand all day long during our travel, a pair of slippers would be a real relief. We should pack all the important things, such as a complete change of clothing and all medication in our carry-on bags during a trip from the hotel. For long flights, we should wear compression stockings to make us feel comfortable.
We could also bring our own water bottle everywhere, including onto the plane. Tablets can be a real treasure for watching movies and reading books during long flights. We could also borrow books from our local libraries at home or purchase affordable old books from stores. It is also a good idea to carry extra batteries during flight, so we won’t run out of power during our trips. We could also make a list of gifts to purchase, but we should make sure that we don’t overbuy and make our trip feel much less comfortable. We may sometimes need to change airlines, so we need to make sure that our baggage will be handled properly. In some cases, we need to pick our luggage on our own and transfer it immediately. Check whether there’s a hotel near the airport if the layover is particularly long. For people with layover period, these special hotels could have a small room with a toilet, sink and bed.
It is also important to know that some countries may have different power standards, so we should be sure to bring the right adapters. They should be available from large hardware stores in our local city. If we have only locked, on-contract smartphone; we should leave it at home, it is a good idea to purchase a model that supports SIM card on the destination country. We should check major carriers in the destination and see whether the frequency will be compatible with our phones. In some countries, people could still smoke freely, so we need to be aware if we are allergic to air pollution.
