Book into the VIP lounge at the airport to start your holiday off. Eat & drink much as you like, comfortable lounges & phone charging spots.
Usually cheaper than a meal & drink in one of the restaurants & better than the inflight food if thatโs an option on yours.

Travel Light**: Pack only the essentials to make it easier to move around and avoid excess baggage fees.
2. **Book Early**: Plan your trip in advance to secure the best deals on flights, accommodations, and activities.
3. **Use Travel Apps**: Take advantage of travel apps for booking accommodations, finding local attractions, and navigating your way around the destination.
4. **Off-Peak Travel**: Consider traveling during the off-peak season to avoid crowds and higher prices.
5. **Local Insights**: Ask locals for recommendations on hidden gems, restaurants, and activities off the beaten path.
6. **Stay Flexible**: Be open to changing plans and exploring new opportunities that may arise during your trip.
7. **Pack Snacks**: Have some snacks handy to keep you energized during your travels and save money on expensive airport or tourist spot snacks.
8. **Stay Hydrated**: Carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, especially in hot weather.
9. **Capture Memories**: Take photos, keep a travel journal, or create a scrapbook to preserve memories of your getaway.

Rolling up the clothes before putting into the suitcase, so it takes less place. Power bank is obvious must-have!

Folding water bottles; whether a vacay or staycay, festival or day trip - youโll always be glad you have one handy. It cuts down costs and helps the environment too!

Don't sweat the small stuff. As long as you have your passport, phone and any prescription meds, you can buy anything else you forgot, so don't feel like you need to pack the kitchen sink!

If two of you are travelling together pack half your clothes in one case and half in the other in case one goes missing. Donโt do what I did, packed all my shorts in one case and all my shirts in the other!
