HOW TO PREPARE ADVANCED PARENTS FOR TRAVELING
Traveling is more than just booking a ticket and going to the airport. A lot of things are being put to mind before our aged parents are considered safe to travel.
Here are some few tips to enable them travel with ease and comfort. This includes:
1) Booking on Time– It is important to contact book their flights early and provide them with the necessary itinerary to prepare and plan ahead to avoid any last-minute frustration or unease that may arise before the journey.
2) Light packing-For stress-free navigation at the airport, assist with packing their bags. You don’t want them struggling to maneuver the airport with heavy luggage. Ensure to pack essential carry-on items like medications, active noise reduction or noise cancellation headphones, sunglasses etc.
3) Online Check in– A wise decision is to check them in online to avoid stress and waiting on long queues at the airport. This can cause fatigue or tiredness for them even before the trip begins. You don’t want that, trust me.
4) Travel Documents– It is advisable to get all the necessary travel documents like visa, travel insurance, passport or other acceptable means of identification, ticket, local currency and emergency contacts at hand for easy reach and presentation. If possible, arrange and neatly tuck them in a folder.
5) Priority Boarding– whenever possible, explore priority boarding option so they can take their time to relax and enjoy the flight without the chaos of immigration and regular boarding procedures. Always pick aisle seat with extra legroom and expedited exit for quicker disembarkation.
All these and more would enable them to have a stress-free travel experience like the King and Queen they are. Thinking of traveling with your old parents? now is the time.
