Holiday Checklist

Whether you are going on a winter or summer holiday, backpacking or camping, it's a good idea to make a holiday checklist before you go.

There's nothing worse than that "have I forgotten something" feeling when you're en route to your holiday destination. Our holiday checklist puts an end to that.

Forgetting your sunglasses isn't an issue but forgetting your passport would be a disaster and with so many things to think about, these things can happen. In order to help you pack for your next holiday, and not forget anything, Airparks have created this handy holiday checklist.

Essentials

This is the most important list in any holiday checklist. In the excitement of packing and last-minute chaos of getting all your last bits together, it can be easy to overlook some of the most important things. We recommend you check this list, and check it again! Essential items to pack or arrange before your journey are:

• Valid Passport
• Visa
• Boarding Passes
• Covid Related Travel Forms
• Travel Insurance Documents
• Cash/Credit Cards
• Foreign Currency
• Hotel Documentation

Luggage

With so much to pack and so much to remember, useful items can often be forgotten when packing your main luggage. The list below will make sure you have everything you need:

• Swimwear
• Beach Towels
• Hat
• Sun Cream
