Carry your passport, other travel documents and
your money separately. You don't want to lose them
all together.
Keep extra photocopies of the relevant pages of
your passport. This is needed for Indian permits.
Place a photocopy of your passport in each and every
checked-in bag that you give at the airport. Helps
in case you lose your luggage.
Label your entire luggage and even try to carry
an extra set of labels with you.
It is a good idea to carry locks for your bags and
suitcases. Try to keep your clothes flat and avoid
carrying too many fragile goods that will be left
at the mercy of careless luggage handlers.
It's not a good idea to travel with too much cash.
Travelers' cheques are best.
Confirm, reconfirm, confirm once again. (Your plane
tickets)
Women who are traveling alone should not admit they
are traveling alone.
Make a list of all the things you forgot while traveling
and use the list before your next trip.
When asking for directions, ask shopkeepers, not
pedestrians. Check with at least two persons or
more.
