ACI’s Essential Travel Tips

WE TRAVEL NOT TO ESCAPE LIFE, BUT FOR LIFE NOT TO ESCAPE US.

Make a note of these essential travel tips for your next holiday to help you make your journey less stressful.

  1. If you forget the wall plug-in for your phone charger, check the back of your hotel TV. There might be a USB port
  2. Turn a cereal container into a trash can for your car when on road trips
  3. Scan your passport, ID, and itinerary and email it to yourself so you have a digital copy in the event of loss or theft
  4. DIY Ice pack: Saturate a sponge, place in a bag and freeze, also ensures it won’t drip everywhere when it melts
  5. Boost your immune system before you leave with lots of water, sleep and vitamins to help protect you from illness
  6. Book an extra day off work and don’t make plans so you have time to relax, do laundry and catch up on everything at home when you return from holiday
  7. Use soap to soothe an insect bite, rub it on the bite and leave it to dry

We all know that ever-daunting task of packing for a holiday.
Here are some packing tips to help you on your next holiday:

  1. Use a packing checklist
  2. Always pack a towel
  3. Roll; don’t fold. This saves space and time
  4. Cover your shoes with a shower cap to protect your clothes from the dirt
  5. LEAK-PROOF BOTTLES: Before you pack, take the lids off liquid cosmetics and cover the top with cling film, then do the lid up tightly over the top. This prevents any annoying leaks
  6. Put loose wires like your charger cables in a sunglasses case
  7. Put your breakables, like perfume, in a sock
  8. Pack an empty tote bag for your laundry
  9. Going on a flight? Choose luggage with a distinctive pattern or colour to easily identify your luggage
