Make sure to carry a valid passport (for international travel), visa (if applicable), government-issued ID, flight/train tickets, hotel booking confirmations, and travel insurance documents.

It’s recommended to arrive at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your departure time for international flights, and 1.5 to 2 hours early for domestic flights or train journeys.

Check airline or travel provider baggage rules before packing. Keep essentials like medication, travel documents, and valuables in your carry-on. Avoid overpacking to prevent extra baggage charges.

Some countries may require specific vaccinations. It's best to consult a travel doctor 4–6 weeks before departure, especially for international travel.

Carry local currency for small expenses, and use cards for major payments. For international travel, ensure you follow RBI guidelines for currency limits and always declare large sums if needed.
