Fly in the day before
A same-day flight leaves little recovery time for weather, missed connections or baggage delays. Add more buffer for long-haul flights and seasonal disruption.
Read the line’s boarding window
Your assigned arrival slot, terminal and final all-aboard time are the controlling instructions. They can differ by ship and sailing.
Plan the last mile
Confirm whether the hotel can arrange a taxi or shuttle, how long the route takes with traffic and where luggage drop-off begins.
Keep documents accessible
Travel documents, medication and one change of clothes belong in hand luggage, not in a checked suitcase that may arrive later.
