Travel tips post-covid

Some people are starting to travel again, in Australia and some overseas.

This is awesome and exciting for many, but things are a little different than three years ago if you’re flying.

A few things that might be useful:

1. You really need to assume and plan that your luggage will not make it to your destination.

So…

2. If you can, purchase an apple AirTag ($40each) or similar and put one in each of your checked luggage bags, and on your carry-on if you’re prone to losing/forgetting things. (We have these on our keys so just took our key ones off of our key rings and put them in our suitcases)

When you get to your destination, you’ll be able to check whether your bags are in the same place as you are!!

This saves you waiting in an airport in Brisbane for hours when your bag is still in Perth.

3. Pack ALL essential medications in your carry-on, not just a few days’ worth. Airlines will allow you to take extra carry-on for medical purposes – so those extra meds and your CPAP machine? Take them on board with you!
