IPark, a leading travel management company in Spain and Portugal, would like to offer some essential advice for those about to embark on a long plane trip. This will make your trip as pleasant as possible and help you get the most out of your vacation.
Be prepared
When organizing a trip, it is very important to review the documentation requirements. Depending on your destination, it is important to take into account visa and passport requirements, as well as other necessary documents.
Vaccination certificates or other special authorizations may also be required. This will ensure a smooth trip and peace of mind.
The importance of a well-organized suitcase
Taking time to pack is one of the keys to a successful trip.
If you are traveling by plane this Easter, be careful! Find out about baggage restrictions. Each airline has its own policies regarding the weight, size and number of carry-on and registered luggage. Make sure you are aware of these restrictions to avoid additional costs or problems at the airport.
Do not underestimate the power of a well-organized and planned suitcase. Before you start packing, make a detailed list of the essential items you will need during your trip. Take into account the duration of the trip, but also the specific activities you are going to do and the weather at your destination. Good organization will allow you to comply with weight restrictions and luggage measurements, and you will avoid unforeseen events before boarding the plane.
Prioritize comfort at the airport
We know that the airport can be a stressful place, especially during the holiday seasons when there are a lot of people. To avoid delays, parking problems, which also tend to be expensive, or long walks with your luggage, consider using a Valet parking service.
Valet car parks are VIP parking services that allow you to leave your vehicle at the foot of the Terminal, in the hands of professionals, saving you time and unnecessary worries. These services are widespread in English-speaking countries, although they are not yet well known in countries like Spain and Portugal.
If you are traveling from Malaga, iPark offers this service. Just reserve your place and an operator will collect and deliver your car when you have walked back from the Terminal.
Technology — your ally
Apps and online services can greatly facilitate your travel experience and will help you save time and effort. From booking flights, parking and accommodation, to finding local restaurants and tourist routes.
At the airport, forget about printed tickets, which may be lost or damaged. Use mobile applications to always have your plane ticket located and accessible. Plus, you can share it with your travel companions, so there is always a copy on hand.
Research the destination airport
Before flying, find out as much as you can about the destination airport.
Look up the services offered and transportation options from the airport to the accommodation, whether by public transportation, taxi service or private transportation service. This information will allow you to plan your arrival more effectively and enjoy a smooth start at your destination.
