1. Check that all the passports are valid and have at least 6 months life on the
return date of your Portland Holiday. Remember, kids need their own
passport!
2. Check your tickets carefully for the flight times and the names of all the
passengers on the Portland tickets match the names on the passport.
3. Arrange suitable travel insurance for everyone who is going on the trip who
you are responsible for. If you need to be flown home on an Air Ambulance
service, this could cost you £40,000. Travel insurance is cheap, buy it
now.
4. Get yourself a European Health Insurance Card (formally the E111). It's
no substitute for holiday insurance, but will get you remedial emergency
treatment in the European Union.
5. If your Portland Holiday is outside the European Union, you may need to check
with your GP about any vaccinations that are required before you travel.
Check this out quickly, as some injections need to be in your system 6 weeks
before you take your exotic Portland Holiday.
6. Check that your credit & debit cards will be valid for the duration of your
trip. Try to take at least 2 cards from different issuers and keep them
apart while on holiday. Remember the Debit Card from the Nationwide
Building Society & the Co Operative Bank doesn't make any charge for using the card abroad, so it could
be worth opening an account with them before you take your Portland Holiday to
avoid paying charges for withdrawing your money abroad.
7. Allow plenty of time to get to your UK departure Airport. With all the
extra security checks now in place, get your holiday off to a perfect, stress
free start & arrive at the airport as early as possible for the start of a
relaxing holiday.
8. Take your mobile & charger with you if only to make & receive text messages
to keep in touch with home. Remember it is expensive to make AND receive
calls while abroad. Texts are generally more expensive to send from
abroad, but are FREE to receive!
