Travel Tips

Travel can be challenging. When you leave your familiar surroundings, you encounter different languages, foods, currencies, customs, weather, electricity, living conditions and more. But with the right preparation, you can return home with fond memories of journeys taken and excited anticipation for future trips. For more travel tips, see our product-category pages.

Planning Your Trip

Entry Visa
If you plan to travel to a foreign destination, be sure to check if an entry visa is required. Be aware that these may take time to obtain and require that you have your passport in hand already.

Flexible Dates
Whenever possible, let your travel agent or travel company know if you are flexible regarding dates and times of travel. Often, booking a flight an hour later or on a different day may be a considerable savings.

Shopping Whilst Travelling

Duty Free Shopping
Just because something is offered in an airport "duty-free" store, it is not necessarily less expensive than what's available at home. Do your research before you go!

Exotic Foods
Exotic spices or foods make wonderful souvenirs! Just make sure you know what is not allowable to bring back before you stock up.

Foreign Currency
Often, the exchange counters are closed when you arrive at a destination. You may want to purchase small amounts of foreign currency from your bank in advance so you can have money for transfers, tips or snacks.
