REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT BOOKINGS IN NIGERIA
When booking international flights, certain requirements must apply. Essential requirements for a local flight booking include;
A TRAVEL INSURANCE
Most travel insurance plans cover medical emergencies, trip cancellation, trip interruption, delays, medical evacuation, and lost, damaged, or stolen luggage. It is not compulsory to take travel insurance. But what is the harm in having one available in case of unplanned situations? It is good to do so because while on an international journey, medical expenses might turn out to be very expensive and the insurance can take care of that. This takes the worry out of your international travel experience.
DATE AND TIME OF TRAVEL
The first information needed to book an international flight is the date of travel and preferred time of flight.
INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT
For international travel, you will need a passport. There are no shortcuts to it. If you are not a passport holder, it is best to apply for one in advance. So that your application will be processed and ready in time for your international travel. If you already have a passport, make sure that it does not expire within the next 6 months or until you get back. Always carry a copy of the passport separately. Keep a copy of the passport at home and also with your travel partner. Carry around a soft copy of the passport as well. These copies can be on your phones or your computers or stored on the digital cloud. The copies will help to get a replacement faster and easier just in case the original is lost.
VISA
Visa is a small stamp that provides conditional permission for entering a country for a specific period of time. There are countries that grant visa-on-arrival. It is important to check if the country you plan on visiting has a visa-on-entry for your passport. And if they don’t? Then you have to apply for a tourist visa for that country. A visa application needs some time to get processed so it is better to apply for it at the earliest.
