The essential checklist for your next trip
(NC)-Whether you're planning a trip for business or pleasure, advance preparation is the key to a rewarding travel experience.
Since it's never too early to start thinking about travel essentials, here are five simple suggestions to help get you off to the right start:
. A Little Goes A Long Way:
Do your research ahead of time and book hotel reservations well in advance. Visit brand-specific websites, such as www.daysinn.ca to get the guaranteed best available rate. Jot down the hotel name along with your confirmation number and confirm reservations prior to departure.
. Less Is More:
Be sure to pack light and right - the less you pack, the less you have to carry. A checklist with different categories will help you get organized and ensure you fill your suitcase with the necessities.
Travelling with light luggage will ease your trip and increase overall comfort level while on the road.
. Get Rewarded:
Check with your hotel to see if they offer a loyalty rewards program such as Wyndham Rewards, designed with the traveller in mind. Look for a participating partner like Days Inn hotels and earn valuable Wyndham Rewards points during your stay that can be redeemed for hundreds of great rewards.
. Peace of Mind:
Prepare yourself for the road ahead and purchase a supplemental travel and health insurance plan that will help protect you from unexpected bumps along the way.
Always carry proof of insurance coverage and leave a copy of this information at home with a family member or a friend.
. Smooth Sailing Through Security:
When travelling by air, check the status of your flight and arrive at the airport a couple hours prior to scheduled departure.
Ensure there are no sharp objects or liquids in your carry-on bag and call the airline ahead of time to find out specific baggage restrictions. Don't forget to bring appropriate identification and keep your ID easily accessible.
With just a little advance planning and research, you'll be able to avoid unnecessary delays and enjoy a stress free getaway.
