WCA TRAVEL TIPS
1. BOOK AHEAD OF TIME
Wether it's a hotel room or airline tickets, booking ahead of time will save you a lot of money and gives you peace of mind. Advance bookings may give you lower rates.
2. PROVIDE THE NAME THAT EXACTLY SHOWS ON YOUR GOVERNMENT ISSUED PHOTO ID.
It is very important that you provide the correct spelling of your name on your travel bookings. You will be asked of a government issued id such as valid PASSPORT, SSS ID, etc., upon checking on at the airport or hotel. If the name does not match, this will cause delay or may not be allowed to checked in at all.
To make sure you are giving the correct
spelling of your name, you may show your travel ID to your agent or spell your name phonetically (A for alpha, B for bravo and so on) if booking over the phone.
3. CHECK-IN ON TIME
Airlines have different time allowances when it comes to checking in on your flight.
Online chek-in is available for most airlines but there are some restrictions (not available for pregnant women, unaccompanied minors, etc.). This may be available on the airline's website 24 hours before the flight, others 72 hours before the flight. Check it out with your airlines via their own website or by calling their customer service hotline.
Whether you prefer offline or online check-in, it is best to contact the airlines to get the correct information about it.
4. BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Airlines have different baggage allowance. It depends on the booking class you have (1st class, business class or economy class ticket). Also, it depends if you are taking a budget/low cost airline or a full service airline. Furthermore, domestic and international trips have different baggage allowance.
It is best to check your airline's website regarding this matter or call their customer service hotline to get accurate information.
5. INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT: PASSPORT
Make sure you bring a copy of your passport when you travel abroad. This might help you get back to your country or prove your identity in case your passport gets lost or stolen.
It would also help to leave a copy of your passport at home or to someone you trust. It is best to store an ELECTRONIC copy in your email as well.
6. INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT: REGISTER WITH YOUR EMBASSY
In case you encounter a problem in that country or an unexpected events occurred, it will be of great help if you registered with your embassy as it will be easier for them to contact you or get you into safety.
7. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL: TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
You must research on the country you are going to for you to be prepared of the travel document needed when and while travelling there.
Aside from a valid airline/ cruise/ ferry ticket you may be needing these documents:
- Unexpired Passport
- Unexpired VISA
- Transit VISA
- Entry VISA
- Doctor's letter regarding your medications you are bringing with you
- Custody documents or other written consent from the other parent when bringing your child
- Sponsor's financial capabilities and legal status
- Sponsor's contact details
- Vaccinations and other documents
- Household certificate/ hotel reservation (if no relatives to visit)
These are some of the documents you should check on depending on the country of origin, route and country of destination. Also depends on the reason for travelling.
8. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL: PASSPORT
Check on the validity of your PASSPORT. Usually it should be valid for the next 6 months from the date of travel completion.
You must also leave at least 2 blank pages on your PASSPORT when you travel abroad.
9. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL: VISA APPLICATION
If you need a visa, it is best to apply early.
Some visa applications are complicated and takes a long time to process. You must have this type of document ready before your departure date to avoid problems like calling the airlines to change your travel dates which may cost you a lot of money. If you have hotel reservations, you have to change the dates as well. These are just some of the complications you might encounter if you do not get your VISA on time.
10. TRAVEL INSURANCE (OPTIONAL)
Some people may think that buying travel insurance is not worth it. Actually buying a travel insurance is a SMART move. It may cover the following:
- Trip Cancellation and Trip Interuption
- Baggage and personal items cover
- Emergency medical cover
- Accidental death or dismemberment cover, etc.
You can purchase from the airlines or cruise carriers (something asked along booking your ticket), independent travel agencies and sometimes you already have one together with your credit card.
Make sure to read the policy before purchasing to make sure it is the right one for you.
11. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: ITINERARY
It is not necessary to print your itinerary but it is HELPFUL to have one handy for easy referrence.
Also, you can put a print out on your baggage together with your contact details so you can be easily reunited with your baggage in case it gets lost.
