Last Minute Checks Before You Drive to the Airport

Going to the airport for your holiday is exciting and stressful in equal parts. Of course it's a great feeling knowing that you're heading off on a holiday to get away from it all, top up your tan and see somewhere new, but at the same time it's also stressful knowing how much money you've spent, worrying about things going wrong, and having a strict timescale that you absolutely can not miss.

It's crucial then to make sure that you are prepared for this journey and that you've accounted for everything that can go wrong if you want to avoid losing money unnecessarily or being extra stressed. Here we will look at some of the very last minute checks to make before you leave.

Your Car

If you are driving to the airport then it's crucial that your vehicle is fit to get you there and that everything is in working order. Chances are that this will be a medium-long journey, so ensure that your tires are fully pumped up, that you have enough fuel, oil and water. Likewise you should pack certain things in your car with you to help you out in case you do end up stranded. For instance you should always take a first aid kit, and you should take supplies and tools that you could use to repair your car or make life more comfortable should you get stranded.

The Route

Knowing the way to the airport is also rather important to avoid driving lost for ages. Make sure you know the best route and that you are aware of any traffic hold-ups too. If you are concerned about getting to your destination then investing in a sat nav can help a great deal to put your mind at rest and to avoid potential problems. If you do not have a sat nav, then having a navigator in the front with a printed map may help to ensure you do not make any wrong turns.

Parking

You should also have some parking for when you get to the airport if you are going to be driving. Make sure this is booked in advance as well, but also that you know the way there. It's no good knowing where the airport is then struggling to find where you are going to park.

Flights

Before setting off you should double check your flight times and the terminal you need to be at. You can check this using your flight number but it's important that you do as these details can be subject to change. You should do this a little before you leave of course, as waiting might mean it's too late for you to get there for the new time.

Your Files and Documents

Going on holiday normally requires you to show any number of e-tickets, confirmation e-mails and documents for identification (as well as lots of cash and / or travelers' checks of course). If you do not have any of these then it can lead to serious stress when you're out there, so doing a last minute check of everything is important.
