01. Carefully read the time and date before booking flights. “I’ve booked the flight ticket to Peru, a journey of my dreams in life. I can get a good price from the Delta, 808 U.S. dollars per person to go home from Washington. Three days after the payment, I just realized that I had booked a ticket back to the Sunday Midnight instead of Saturday midnight. at midnight that makes me confused. I call Delta, and begged for the time on the ticket can be changed. They inform, i have to pay 500 dollars per perseon to change the time . ” -EMD

Tip: Sometimes, even if you’ve checked until two to three times, you still can go wrong. Be loyal to the airline that has a flight time change policies are cheap and always be responsive to respond to changes in your flight.

02. Do not be angry and check your seat on the flight. “I have asked for a seat by the window on a flight from Saigon to Paris, and my ticket was issued with a boarding pass number 9C.  Realizing the” C “ was not the numbers next to the window, I returned again and asked to change the number. Too late! I realized before I have to be upgraded to business class for a very long flight, and now successfully been lowered again. Women in the check in place did not say a word, but it is my fault not realize from the beginning “. Carrabella

04. Do not cancel your credit cards associated with booking tickets.  ”I canceled my credit card because i’m upset with its increasing rate. Then I felt the consequences. Hotels in Paris where we were supposed to live, cancel our reservation.” -TravelNut

05. Consider the weather / season when you visit a place. “I have traveled the world after completing my studies. Before I was very busy and did not have time to do thorough research on my destination.’s  Biggest surprises I encountered when I visited Sydney, Australia, in August and realized it was winter at there. I do not brings many things, only the clothes that fit in a gym bag. I had to use all of my clothes to keep warm. I look like a store running while watching Evita blamed one of their beautiful theater that the Broadway style. ” -ncounty

07. Do not think any hotel on the beach is ok. “How many years ago I planned a vacation to the beach for me and my girlfriend, and ordered a downtown hotel in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (with no previous checks). My God, I lay in bed and cry. Fortunately, a good helper the place was suggested that we move to Puerto Plata. He also helped us choose the right bus and get to the other side of the island. ” -Suze

08. Always the message room for every night of your trip. “I should very careful when ordering the hotel. More than once we had no place to stay because I thought,” Ok, we’ll check out this hotel on x and check into a hotel on y “without realizing that it was makes us not have a place to stay on the night of x. ” -goddesstogo

09. Do not ever think your hotel room prices will not change. “Last year, the trip to Bangalore, India, I stopped in Paris and lived in a comfortable room at the Hotel team hotel in Montparnasse. I’ve booked a room at another hotel for my return but the team hotel location is very close to the airport, after all, they agrees to store extra bags that I do not need in India, so I decided to cancel my reservation at another hotel. A big mistake! I think they will be wearing the same price to me (the price on the internet), and did not check again. In addition to a room bad, they cost me almost 100 euros for a major sports competition in Paris that night (I do not remember his event). ” -Brazilnut

10. Always update your driver’s license. “I did not renew my license in time, and apparently the car rental place just want them to rent cars with drivers license! I just had a baby 4 weeks ago … and the little details like that is the last thing I think … until I was rejected! ” -miller20621

11. Always carry a good map with you. “I was so sure where I go when the bus in Honolulu. I ended up in a small business area on the other side of the island on a dark night. The driver said that this is the final destination and giggled when I told him where I was actually headed.” -Melnq8
