Confirm All Reservations

Double-check all bookings, including car rentals, restaurants, attractions, and other planned activities.

Review Hotel Guidelines

Visit your hotel’s website to familiarize yourself with its health and safety protocols, operational procedures, and available facilities for a smooth stay.

Notify Your Credit Card Provider

Inform your credit card company about your travel plans to avoid any disruptions while abroad.

Update Your Phone Plan

Contact your mobile provider to set up the most cost-effective plan for calls, texts, and internet access during your trip.

Plan Ahead

Make your journey stress-free by planning ahead. Complete tasks such as paying bills and making thorough arrangements for anything that may need attention during your absence. If someone must act officially on your behalf, make the necessary telephone calls and prepare any required letters.

Take Care of Business

Before you travel, prepare a written checklist of the essentials:

• Are your credit and debit cards in order?
• Have your medications been refilled?
• Have you made provisions for your absence?

Check Your Essential Documents

Having a folder containing photocopies of essential documents can be helpful while travelling. Include a copy of your passport, itinerary, and anything else that may be useful in an emergency. It is also advisable to back up these documents to the cloud or leave copies with a family member at home.

Review Baggage Allowances and Fees

Review your airline’s baggage allowances before departure to avoid additional fees or unexpected issues at the airport.

Travelling With Pets?

Contact your airline for its specific pet travel policies and research your destination’s requirements to help ensure a smooth experience for you and your pet.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance may provide coverage for risks such as the loss of your passport, theft of valuables, and medical emergencies while abroad. Some policies may also cover the cost of cancellations or alterations to your travel plans.

Health Formalities

Depending on your destination, vaccinations, procedures, or treatments may be mandatory or recommended. Consult your doctor, travel agency, and airline before travelling.

Remove Old Tags and Labels

Before checking in your luggage, remove all old tags and labels, secure any loose straps, and retract all handles. These steps reduce the risk of your bag becoming caught or damaged on conveyor belts.

Pack Food

Pack travel-friendly fresh or packaged snacks for your flight where permitted. You may also bring items such as tea or hot chocolate and request hot water onboard.

Travelling With Kids?

Keep children entertained during flights and waiting periods by packing a few favourite toys and activities. Store them in a clear, zippered pouch to keep everything organized.

Pack With Security Checks in Mind

Spot searches may occur at any time. Organize your belongings for quick access and easy repacking. Rolling clothes can save space, keep items separate, and reduce wrinkles.

Keep All Valuables With You

Since checked baggage may be examined, keep valuables with you or inside your carry-on baggage.

Medications

Keep essential medication in your carry-on luggage. Do not place essential medication in checked baggage, as your checked luggage may be delayed or may not arrive with you.

Pack Smart

Always keep a change of clothes in your carry-on. This can provide comfort and peace of mind if your checked luggage is delayed or an unexpected situation occurs.

Check-In

The Grenada Airports Authority recommends that travellers check in three (3) hours before the departure of international flights and two (2) hours before the departure of regional flights.

Keep Your Head Clear

Carry chewing gum or sweets to help reduce ear discomfort when cabin pressure changes. If you are susceptible to motion sickness, take appropriate medication before your flight so that it has time to take effect.
