I gave up on relying only on electronic documents, too many times immigration agents asked for paper copy or wouldnât accept a print screen or pdf or email proof. Not to mention the fact that the govt websites are either down or internet isnât working at the airport đĄ. I highly recommend to print copies and keep them in a plastic pouch to avoid the hassle!
Thank you.
Thank you, great advice and that served me well on my trip to Iceland from Canada in July 2021. I plan to do the same for my trip to Spain. Thank you for the comment and the advice.
Agree! Years ago my phone crashed right as I was going to scan the boarding pass. I had to do a reset and take the battery out. Thank goodness it came back. Since then I always have the paper copy. And backups of anything I really need on the flight, like 2 earphones, 2 power packs, etc.
@@achevres Yes, that would do it for me as well.
I was in the Miami airport coming home from a cruise and my return ticket decided not to load so I had to hustle over to the airline kiosk which was trying to sell me a credit card which I already had I get to print out my boarding pass with the TSA all kinds of fools theyâre not paying attention to TSA not having their boarding pass and ID ready I pantomimed the women in front of me that did not speak English to get their stuff ready

Your reminders are so useful. It should be easy enough to check entry and exit requirements of countries visiting. Weâre off to the UK in 3 weeks from đŠđș. Important documents: have digital and hard copies, also photos. Just in case. đ
Good to know about all this. I had no idea. Iâll be checking. Going on a Rhine River cruise in December but I booked my own flights there and back., not through the cruise operator.

Travelling to France. It's a bit stressful as some of the services I relied on in the past are now unavailable. Not a big deal, but travel prep is taking a bit more mental space these days. Thank you for your videos. I find them quite helpful.
Best of luck, it will work out!
Yea. Years ago I Put $350.00 in bills at the bottom of my shoe and gave them to a travel agent who gave me my round trip ticket to and from London. She also booked the room.
Going to New Zealand đłđż baby! Planned for late October but we'll see what happens. I've watched hours of travel tips and have what I need saved on my shopping list. Now I'm trying to buy clothes since I have almost nothing at all.
I would love to hear your Ongoing departure ticket hacks. I am just about to buy one for my daughter...which will likely never be used, just to tick the box here in Bali. I enjoyed watching a couple of your videos, great information, thanks, keep up the great work.
Brilliant !

Hi đ Teri how are you doing?
Thanks for the helpful info. Going to Perth Australia. First time. First international flight in 17 years.Applying for an Australian visa is very easy. All online.
Visiting Auckland, NZ and Strasbourg, France this year đđœ
I'm heading to Portugal with a layover in Paris this October. Navigating web sites is pretty daunting for someone my age. I appreciate any help for simple instructions
Thumbs Up đ
Great information I did not know to enter France I would need proof of a return ticket!!
I did not know about the spare pages requirement in passport. I guess with the 10 year ones this happens more. As for me I only wish I could fill those pages like you do :)
I'm taking the train to Paris from London and back. Very helpful video
Have fun! Thanks for watching.
Next month to St. Lucia and St. Kitts. In June, to Dublin, Ireland. In September to Greece.
Have u been to seychelles? At minute 0.52 it shows the coco de mer stamp from seychelles immigration. Gladly surprised
Hi! I like your videos! Just wondering, have you heard of Airfly Duo? Its a small device you plug into the headphone jack on the airplane tv that connects to Bluetooth. You can use wireless headphones or AirPods with this device and 2 people can use it. I will be using mine for the first time in Nov. so I can't say yet if I will be happy with it. Fingers Crossed!
Great tips! I'd like to visit London next. I chose to avoid summer travel because it's just too crazy for me, but these tips will always be useful! I think international travel can be a breeze if you plan ahead well, especially in this day and age. I can usually do everything from my phone, from check-in to landing, but I like to keep paper copies of everything too just in case. I noticed airport staff will often get you through quicker, if you show physical copies of everything. However, I traveled with my mom a few months ago, and she was amazed at how efficient I can be with the phone so she starts telling everyone how amazing it is đ Anyway at least the US is not requiring the negative c*vid tests for entry anymore, so maybe travel is a little easier now, but I'm not sure about most other countries/airlines. Overall, nip the "airport stuff" in the bud; print and prepare a week in advance, ideally!
My London trip last month was a breeze and this was the start of Jubilee week. You're definitely right about printing everything out and having it close at hand;hope your trip goes well!
@@jl453 Good to hear! I think I will be more open to summer travel in the next few years. Thank you!
One important subject not mentioned are Visa waivers. Many countries have visa waiver agreements in place, including the USA. You need to apply online before you try and enter the country however.
Very impressive that you had stamps on all the pages of your passport.
I'll be visiting the US this week!
Croatia, with an Amsterdam layover - light all the candles for me! haha
Sent in our passports weeks ago for renewal. Traveling to Mexico and later to France.
As to visas. In mid 2019 I toured the 5 Stans of the Silk Road and we had to apply for a visa and be recommended to enter Turkmenistan. The travel agent acted as a person recommending us and it took about 14 days for that to be processed. NOTE: Many apply, very few are accepted. Even when it is accepted and issued, you need to review it carefully for mistakes
Going to ITALY next month!
On my way to Turkey again. I have always travelled one-way and have made my purchase of a Turkish online before my flight. This is my fourth trip to Turkey and I have never been asked to prove forward travel.
Thanks for offering to create a video on proof of onward travel and useful hacks. It's a very misunderstood topic, and I am certain that many of your viewers would appreciate it.
You are also very clear and cogent in your explanations.
Staying tuned!
Hey I am a new subscriber to your channel, love your content n you too! You have great content no doubt. I feel it's a sound pollution while watching your video, guess u need to work on presentation with some pause or interesting something. Just my opinion you can ignore if it's not worth. But love the content..
Needing proof of onward travel arrangements is real. We nearly got caught out on that one a few years ago over Schengen Zone vs. EU.
Hi how are you doing?
I know how to travel abroad now plan on doing it to Pattaya beach Thailand
Israel and Singapore . Mexico very very soon
I got approved in Mexico 180 days
Heading to Australia from the US!
Really want to do a Poland trip. The fact Poland and Russia tension seems to be high right now is making me at least wait and see what happens in that region before visiting.
I like to do multiple countries in each trip and my countries come October are, Panama, Columbia, Peru and Argentina.. I so missed traveling which was a non thing during Covid, I am so nervous traveling again..
My husband and i are going to Greece from Montreal Canada âŠwe are both Canadian citizens!
Going to New Zealand in July - been there before on business, one of my favorite places to visit. Yes, you need a visa to enter NZ
Cancun Mexico i September. I haven't traveled outside US since 2006...feels strange, Thanks for the videos they're great XOXO
Glad you like them! Have a super trip to Cancun!
Traveling to Bali for a 2 month stay in October!
When my passport filled up, I still had years before it expired. I was able to get visa pages inserted and there wasnât a charge.
Yes please!!! To a video about proof of onward travel.
@portableprofessional someone is using your photo!
Greece is my next travel destination and not till next year. Bahamas this year but on a cruise đą!!!!!
Scotland, Iâll be going next year
Flying to the Philippines this week
Headed for Panama soon
That's awesome! Have a great trip,Don.
What is the insurance youâve been using?
I'm leaving for Europe in a month; I will be arriving in Zurich for one tour, taking trains to Rome for a second tour, and then departing for home from Rome. Please tell us about those "hacks" for proof of onward travel very soon!
Please consider doing a video on airline code-sharing flights.
Iâm heading to Italy in 3 weeks. Flight was booked by my children round trip with Delta.
In looking at my schedule I change carriers at JFK to an airline called ITA Airways (a bit of research shows this is the old defunct Airtalia.)
The only thing I got out of my 10 calls to Delta and ITA and total 10 hours of hold time, is the following:
1. Itâs a codeshare flight, meaning travel rules regarding baggage, seating is what the rules are for the booking airline. Iâm not sure about that when I contacted both airlines I got 5 different answers.
My outbound flight to JFK is Delta and my seat is selected. From NY to Rome, then on to Palermo is on ITA and one person said to go to their website to check in & select my seat 48 hours before departure. Delta says I canât check in until 24 hrs before the flight. So do I check in with ITA 48 hrs for the ITA to Rome flight? And then again 24 hrs later with Delta? Also, I was told by one ITA representative that Delta would give me my seat selection when I check in on day of departure. But then everyone else on the flight would have selected their seats 24 hours on ITA site before my Delta check in.
Sounds like Iâm sitting on the wing eating bread and H2OâŠđ
2. ITA flight is tagged as Economy Classic
But, they only show economy on their website which says no seat selection by customer only by ITA day of the flight and that economy doesnât allow carry on, only under seat personal bag.
So Iâm majorly confused and traveling internationally alone.
I guess Iâll learn a lot which will help for future international flights.
I hope you can do this video for other people who may be in the same pickle jar as me.
Sorry this is so long but, I am SO glad I found your channel!! Your tips and advice have been very helpful. Short and to the point. Which this comment is not. đ
I'm sure you will get meals for the international flight, it's not my favourite airline but meals were always provided by Alitalia back in the day, it's not a case of bread & water if you check in on the day at the airport.
Maybe just check in a modest -sized suitcase and bring a tote bag of the correct dimensions to fit under the seat in front of you on any and all airlines, aiming to check your suitcase all the way through to your final destination. That takes the pressure off trying to squeeze toiletries and other liquids into a cabin allowance.
Hope you have/had a wonderful holiday in Italy!
Alaska cruise next month
We're leaving for Thailand and Japan later this month.
We loved Egypt
Israel and Jordan next month. đ Megan, not sure whether a flight from France to Italy counts as onward travel as there is no border control AT ALL within the Schengen area. If someone is required to present proof of onward travel arriving in a Schengen country, it would require them to leave the Schengen area altogether.
The trip from France to Italy she mentions doesnât work because it is a Schengen Area visa.
Enjoy your trip to Israel and Jordan. Ś ŚĄŚŚąŚ ŚŚŚŚ
