General Travel Tip 1

  • Your rights as an airline passenger: Before purchasing airline tickets, ask for the airline's "Conditions of Carriage". The Conditions of Carriage cover numerous airline regulations, including limits of liability for loss of luggage, check-in deadlines, responsibility for delays or cancelled flights, compensation for injuries and many others. These regulations vary from airline to airline so it may help you determine which airline you'll choose.
  • When checking in at the hotel's lobby: For a matter of security, ask the hotel desk personnel not to announce your room number, but rather to write it down. There is no need for the entire hotel lobby to know what room you'll be staying in.
  • What to do if you lose your passport: First of all, you must inform the local authorities about the loss. After that, contact your country's consulate or embassy for permission to return to your home country. Normally, a temporary passport will be issued.
