With all the joy and memories travel brings you, sometimes it can get tricky and confusing. “Travel can be very unpredictable, especially during peak seasons. “By working with a travel professional, we work behind the scenes so you can truly relax on vacation,” says Molly Mathis, founder of MOJO Adventures. In addition to working with a trusted travel professional like MOJO, here are a few things you can file away for your next trip so you can move about the country with confidence.
Check out these common mistakes:
- Not Checking Your Passport’s Expiration Date
Many countries require passports to be valid at least six months beyond your dates of travel. So before packing your passport, be sure to check the expiration date. If your passport is set to expire soon, check out our recent article for next steps.
- Making International Plans Before Checking Flight Prices
Air travel is continuing to skyrocket as people travel to popular tourist destinations during peak season. Delays and cancellations are no surprise this summer. I recommend looking at flight prices before making any destination plans. Even better, utilize our professional flight team.
