6 Things You MUST Check Before Booking Your International Trip

Travelling abroad is exciting — new cultures, new food, new places, and unforgettable memories. But before you pack your bags and click “Book Now,” there are a few important things every traveller must double-check. These simple checks will help you avoid last-minute issues, unexpected expenses, and travel delays.

Whether you’re planning a romantic Maldives getaway, a fun Thailand trip, or a Dubai adventure, here are the 6 essential things to verify before booking your international holiday.

1. Passport Validity

This is the most common mistake travellers make.

Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of travel.

For example:
If you’re travelling in June, your passport should be valid till December or beyond.

✔ Check the expiry date
✔ Ensure you have at least 2 blank pages
✔ Renew early if needed

A small oversight in passport validity can stop your entire trip — so check this first!

2. Visa Requirements

Every country has different visa rules:

• Some offer visa on arrival

• Some require an eVisa

• Some need advance documentation

• Some have specific photo or bank balance requirements

Before booking flights or hotels, confirm your visa needs.
At Tripsera Holidays, we guide you through:

✔ Visa documents
✔ Application process
✔ Embassy rules
✔ Processing timelines

This helps you avoid rejection or unexpected delays.

3. Travel Insurance

Many travellers skip it — until something goes wrong.

Travel insurance protects you from:

• Medical emergencies

• Lost luggage

• Flight cancellations

• Missed flights

• Accidents

• Trip interruptions

A small insurance fee can save you from big expenses abroad.
Some countries even make insurance mandatory, like UAE, Thailand, and Europe (Schengen).

4. Weather & Seasonal Conditions

Weather can completely change your travel experience.

Before booking, check:

✔ Temperature
✔ Rainfall
✔ Storm season
✔ Peak or off-season
✔ Local festivals
✔ Clothing requirements

For example:

• Bali has a rainy season

• Maldives has monsoon months

• Dubai gets extremely hot in summer

• Europe gets very cold during winter

Planning according to the season makes your trip more comfortable.

5. Hotel, Flight & Meal Inclusions

Many travellers face surprises because they don’t read the inclusions properly.

Before confirming your package, check:

• Does the hotel include breakfast?

• Are airport transfers provided?

• Are flights refundable or non-refundable?

• Are attraction tickets included?

• Are taxes covered?

• Are there hidden charges?

At Tripsera Holidays, we share complete details clearly — no hidden costs.

6. Currency, SIM & Local Expenses

Before travelling abroad, check the following:

✔ Exchange currency in advance — rates are better than airport counters
✔ Check if your destination accepts card payments easily
✔ Keep small cash for transport, food, and local markets
✔ Understand roaming charges or take a local SIM
✔ Keep emergency money separately

Travel becomes smoother when you’re financially prepared.
