Home > 5 Tips To Get To The Airport In Time
We’ve all been there: scrambling for your belongings when you’re already running late for your flight and to top it off, constantly feeling like you missed out something on your packing checklist but cannot seem to put a finger on it.
Being behind schedule can get quite stressful, and now that travelling also comes with added procedures due to the strict COVID-19 regulations, you’ll have to take this into consideration when you’re planning your time to be Airport-ready. Here are some tips to help you get to the Airport ahead of time for your flight:
1. Plan in advance
Planning for a trip can get quite taxing, which is why it is highly recommended that you start doing so way ahead of time. Get organised by coming up with a detailed packing checklist that you can refer to easily as you pack your suitcase.
When curating your packing list, you should take into account the duration of your trip so that you can decide on the items you need. For a short trip (three to five days), you can make do with the following: a pair of underwear and socks per day, a pair of pyjamas, one to two formal outfits, a couple of athleisure, casual outfits, and two pairs of shoes. For a longer trip (more than a week), simply double up the quantity. If doing laundry is an option for your trip, you can probably make do with even fewer items – just don’t forget to pack a travel laundry kit!
But planning ahead doesn’t just stop at your luggage. You can even book Airport Transfer Services in advance to ensure that you arrive in the Airport on time, or have someone pick you up the moment you land.
2. Packing travel essentials during COVID-19
The pandemic has changed the way we travel, hence, the items we prioritise in our luggage has changed significantly as well. It’s always a good idea to keep a couple of extra face masks in your carry-on. Other essential items include sanitising wipes, and hand sanitiser, which you will need to wipe down frequently-touched surfaces on your travels.
3. Stay updated with the latest requirements and restrictions
Due to the nature of the pandemic, restrictions can change rapidly depending on local conditions. Different governments have different requirements, such as needing people to wear masks or getting tested, and making it essential for those who have recently travelled to stay indoors for up to 14 days. To prevent yourself from having to deal with troublesome surprises and delays, it’s best to stay up to date with the latest restrictions at your destination and anywhere you might layover. You can check the MFA website for the latest travel advisories to other countries or regions.
