What should I check 48 hours before departure?
Check passport, visa and insurance dates, reconfirm flights and border status, prepare payment and offline documents, and have assistance contacts; don’t leave initial paperwork until the last 48 hours.
Within 48 hours of departure, reconfirm your passport, visa and insurance dates alongside flight times, transit rules and current border status.
