1. Purpose

This Travel Checklist is provided by Travellin as a practical information resource to help travellers prepare for a journey.

• and applicable law.

This checklist is therefore general guidance and not a guarantee that every requirement applicable to a particular traveller is included.

Travellers remain responsible for verifying the requirements applicable to their own journey with the relevant official authorities and service providers.

44. Important Disclaimer

This checklist is provided for general informational and practical purposes.

It is not a complete legal, immigration, medical, safety, insurance or travel-advice checklist for every destination or traveller.

Travellin does not guarantee that following this checklist will:

• permit entry into a country;
• satisfy visa requirements;
• prevent travel disruption;
• guarantee boarding;
• guarantee insurance coverage;
• guarantee access to a particular service;
• or eliminate travel risks.

The traveller remains responsible for verifying the requirements applicable to their specific circumstances.

45. Official Information Should Prevail

Where information contained in this checklist differs from information provided by:

• a government;
• immigration authority;
• border authority;
• airline;
• accommodation provider;
• transport operator;
• insurer;
• activity provider;
• or other competent authority,

the applicable official or contractual information should be followed.

46. Related Travellin Information

Customers should also consult the relevant Travellin pages:

• Travel Alerts
• Flight Passenger Rights
• Accommodation Information
• Activities & Experiences
• Travel Insurance Information
• Booking & Supplier Relationship
• Amend or Cancel Booking
• Refund Policy

These documents address specific aspects of travel and booking separately.

47. Final Statement

A successful journey begins with preparation.

Travellin encourages every traveller to:

check the documents → check the booking → check the supplier → check the destination → check official travel advice → check the transport status → check insurance → and keep important information accessible.

Travel requirements can change after a booking has been made. Travellers should therefore repeat the relevant checks shortly before departure and during the journey where circumstances require it.
