Tips for a Comfortable Flight
|
| To maximize comfort during your flight, wear comfortable clothing, eat lightly, rest, and drink plenty of water. Try to abstain from alcoholic beverages and caffeinated drinks, which promote dehydration. To minimize the inconvenience of carrying baggage, try to pack the bulk of your belongings in a suitcase that can be checked-in and bring one small carry-on with some reading material, a toothbrush and toothpaste. If you can place the carry-on in an overhead compartment, then you'll have more room to stretch your legs. Make sure each piece of luggage is clearly marked with your name, address, and phone number.

Leaving Home
|
| Grand European Tours recommends that you take all precautions with your home while you're traveling. Stopping your mail and newspaper delivery, and setting timers on some of the lights are ways to avoid obvious signs that you're gone. Always double check that you have your tickets, passport, visa if necessary, and money with you before leaving for the airport. For international travel, you should arrive at the airport three hours prior to departure - even earlier on heavy travel days.

When the Plane Lands
|
| In all foreign countries, you'll go through immigration as soon as you land. You'll fill out a customs card on board the plane and you'll need it at this point, so keep it handy along with your passport and visa, if necessary. You will be asked several questions and they occasionally search the carry on bags at this time.Once you've passed through immigration, you proceed to baggage claim to retrieve any checked bags you may have. You should look for the Grand European Tours Representative, who will be holding a Grand European Tours sign at a designated meeting place.
