✈️ 5 Quick Travel Tips to Avoid Travel Hiccups

1. Check Passport Validity
Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel date.

2. Make Digital & Physical Copies
Scan or photograph your passport, visa, and tickets. Store copies in your email and keep a printed version in your bag.

3. Double-Check Visa & Entry Requirements
Each country has different rules. Some require onward tickets; others need eTravel registration (like the Philippines). Always verify with official sources.

4. Notify Your Bank
Inform your bank about your travel plans to prevent your cards from being blocked due to suspicious activity.

5. Pack Travel Essentials in Your Carry-On
Include medications, chargers, important documents, and a change of clothes in your hand-carry in case of luggage delays.
