What you should know
Plan to arrive at the airport or check-in counter well in advance of your flight's departure time, especially if you're unfamiliar with the airport layout or procedures. It’s recommended to arrive 2 hours early for a domestic flight and 3 hours for an international flight.
If travelling internationally, your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned return date. Check if you need a visa for your destination or any country you're transiting through, and apply well in advance if necessary.
Check the specific requirements of the destination country before traveling to ensure compliance with entry regulations and to avoid any issues upon arrival. Regulations and requirements may vary, so it's important to verify the most up-to-date information from official sources. Several Caribbean countries, such as Cuba, St Lucia and Dominican Republic, require travelers to complete digital forms or obtain e-tickets before traveling. Make sure they are properly filled out before you board.
Make sure to check your baggage allowance and restrictions to avoid excess baggage fees or delays at check-in. Pack your luggage accordingly and weigh it before arriving at the airport.
When it comes to navigating the check-in process, don't hesitate to ask for help from airport or airline staff. They're dedicated to ensuring your journey is as seamless as can be.
Last but not least, embrace the unexpected! Be flexible and open to new experiences. Things don't always go according to plan, but those unexpected twists often lead to the most memorable experiences. So, relax, enjoy yourself, and make some unforgettable memories along the way!
