International Flight Departure-Day Checklist

International flight departure checklist essentials

Departure day feels easier when the important decisions are already made. Use a short checklist before leaving home rather than relying on memory.

Documents

  • Passport and required travel documents
  • Booking details
  • Accommodation address
  • Any transport information you need on arrival

Bags

Confirm that your main luggage is closed, labelled and within the limits that apply to your booking. Keep essential items in your personal bag.

Devices

Charge your phone and power bank, pack the correct cables and keep anything you need during the journey easy to reach.

Home check

Before leaving, make one final sweep for chargers, documents, keys and small items left near sockets or bathrooms.

Arrival plan

Know how you plan to get from the airport to your first destination so you are not making every decision after landing.

A five-minute final check can prevent a stressful start to the trip.
