A simple flight and baggage checklist

Match each passenger’s details

Check that names, dates of birth and travel document details match the passport requirements for your ticket and visa.

Confirm every flight segment

Review airport names, local departure and arrival times, terminal details, connection duration and whether you need to collect and recheck baggage.

Check baggage for each airline

Confirm the allowance for checked bags and cabin bags on every segment. Some itineraries use different rules on different airlines.

Plan for connection and transit rules

Ask the airline or relevant authorities about transit visas, terminal changes, airport transfers and what to do if a flight changes.

Keep key documents accessible

Save booking references and keep your itinerary, hotel details, travel documents and supplier contact information available during the trip.
