Whether you’re leaving for a vacation or a business trip, it’s understandable that you may be focused on what you’ll be doing once you arrive. You may have a plan for going to as many theme parks as possible, or you may have big ideas about how to dazzle your potential new client.
Whatever the case, don’t allow it to distract you from everything you should be thinking about before your trip. Few things are as frustrating when traveling as realizing too late that there was something you needed to do or bring — but didn’t. Failing to prepare properly for a trip can mean, at best, a minor inconvenience and, at worst, your entire trip ruined.
Whatever the reason for traveling, you don’t want stress and anxiety to get in the way, so it’s vital that you think about how you’ll need to prepare for your trip before looking ahead to the moment you step off the plane.
One of the most common sources of stress when traveling is long lines at the airport. One of the biggest reasons for long lines: Many people underestimate how much time they’ll need to get there and make their way through security. Arriving earlier to the airport may mean spending a little time cooling your heels at the gate, but that’s preferable to gnashing your teeth in a traffic jam or tapping your toes waiting to get through the X-ray scanner.
Other sources of stress include digging through luggage for your ID, boarding pass or other important documents because you can’t remember where you put it. Keeping those items in a front pocket or another easy-to-find location can make checking in much easier and help minimize undue anxiety. Little things that can add up and create major annoyances for you when you travel, so do what you can in advance to avoid those preventable pitfalls.
It takes only a few moments to make sure you’re fully prepared for a trip, whereas the consequences of failing to prepare can cost you a lot of time and frustration down the road. The guide below contains some helpful tips for preparing for a trip, which can keep you on task — and not thinking too far ahead.
