Advice for the First Time Traveler Abroad

Planning an air charter adventure can be great fun, but there are many different decisions to make in your planning. Do I stay state side or go overseas? How long should I stay? What do I wear? These are all important questions. Here are a few more things to include in your checklist when preparing for your adventure. First, if you plan to travel overseas to take your air charter adventure it’s always a good idea to gather any health issue information on your destination. If there’s any questions, you can contact the center for disease control at 404-639-2572. Some parts of the world are in constant turmoil, while others are quiet as a church. To find out if a traveler’s advisory has been issued for a specific part of the world you can contact the U.S State Department at 202-647-4000. Also, it’s a good idea to write down the numbers of any local U.S embassies in the area your visiting. If a passport is going to be needed for your travel, you’ll need to apply for it 30 days before your trip. They do have a quicker service, but it costs an extra $60 over the standard $85 fee. A passport is valid for ten years. Find out if the country you're headed to also requires a visa to enter.
