Passport Information (updated)

In the Name of the Traveler

Does it really matter if your name is misspelled in your ticket? The answer is a big yes. It matters especially international flights. Immigration officers are very keen on details and it could be one of the reasons for denied entry.

Errors in our itinerary usually occur when we book our flights in a rush and we don't read all the reminders posted on the website or we get our ticket agents. We should always take that moment to check before we click the final confirmation button or even leave the ticket counters.
Here are some tips:

1. Use all-caps for your complete name.
2. If you're booking a trip for someone else, ask them for the complete name and date of birth.
3. Read the text box carefully. Often times we get errors on the first name, last name and middle name - they get mixed up.
4. The name should be the same as reflected in the passport or valid ID.
5. Don't hurry. The system has a built-in idle time trigger that will ask you if you need more time.

Then suddenly, I realized that the music he is listening might not be appropriate, so I am now downloading children's song. Our Trip to Surigao Traveling with a tyke like Sebastian can be stressful because he thinks that the airport is a playground. He would go almost all over the place and check on us from time to time if we are still waiting for our boarding call.  Mind you, it is not safe to let them roam around by themselves because we never kno

Depart of Traveling Guide

Image
Nowadays, it is more economical if we design our own tour package. This way we can save more, learn more, do more and bring more souvenir items. When planning for a travel, I usually use my own style and I call it DEPART or Destination, Expenses, Purpose, Activity, Resources and Time. It is very important that we look for a destination that is cost effective and will definitely work for you. You cannot just go somewhere if your resources cannot afford to meet their standard daily expenses. Selecting for the best destination could be a difficult task, however if you list down your choices and screen your best destination by using DEPART, then the task is more easier.
