Travel Companions​

If you're under 18 or over 60, we strongly recommend not traveling alone. Having a companion ensures you have support in case of any emergencies or health issues.

Health and Travel Insurance​

Always have health and travel insurance. This covers unexpected medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other emergencies, giving you peace of mind throughout your journey.

Postpone Travel if Ill​

If you become ill or face a health emergency right before your flight, extend your travel plans by at least a week. Your health is paramount, and traveling while unwell can worsen your condition.

Vaccination Certificates​

Check if your destination requires certain vaccinations or up-to-date tests. Many countries have specific health entry requirements, especially in light of recent global health concerns. Ensure you have all necessary certificates to avoid entry issues.

General Health Conditions​

  • Chronic Illnesses: If you have a chronic illness, carry sufficient medication for your trip, plus a few extra days' supply.
  • Allergies: Keep your allergy medications handy and inform your travel companions of your condition.
  • Medical Emergencies: Know the emergency numbers and hospital locations in your destination city. Have a plan in place for how to handle medical emergencies.
