With Charleston to offer direct flights to London, ensure that you’re properly prepared when traveling internationally. Check out these tips to enjoy your trip across the pond:

  1. Store Electronic Copies Of Your Important Documents

In the case of losing your passport and other significant paperwork, keeping copies of your information electronically will make the process of retrieving it easier.

2. Store Your Vacation Address On Both Your Phone And On Paper

In case your phone dies, keep the address of where you’re staying on paper with you to help you get home safely. It’s also beneficial to have the address in English and the country’s native language if venturing to other countries in Europe and Asia.

3. Don’t Keep All Of Your Cash In One Place

Mitigate the chance of losing all of your cash in the case of theft inside or outside of your hotel/hostel. Keep valuables on person if you’re unsure of your surroundings.

4. Check With Your Doctor And Insurance Provider On Your Coverage

Before you leave the states, consult with a medical professional and your insurance provider to review what is and is not covered overseas in the case of an emergency. In the case something may not be covered, you can consider travel insurance to close the gaps between the country you’re visiting and the USA.

5. Share Your Itinerary With Family And Friends

Keep your family informed of your whereabouts and plans for the day in the case they need to get a hold of you or need to know your location.

Hopefully, you won’t need to worry about these situations, but it never hurts to prepare and plan ahead. Keep these tips in mind while planning your trip to London.

Cheers!
