International Air Travels (travails) - Pre Travel

Tickets

First of all, check and double-check your tickets’ date and time. Most international flights leave early hours of the morning, which mean you reach the airport the previous night.

It doesn’t hurt to call up the local airline office to reconfirm your tickets. At most the airline agent would tell you that the tickets do not require confirming after checking your status – so it doesn’t hurt! The reason for reconfirming is that airlines overbook on international routes expecting a cancellation / change of journey and would rather bump off excess passengers rather than fly with a few empty seats. And who are the prime categories for offloading? You and me – with those cheapest tickets that we bought!
