Know what to bring and contact  what you’ll need on your trip makes packing for international travel as a newbie a breeze. For example, did you know that you’ll have a tough time finding antacids in Italian pharmacies? Instead, Italians like to sip aperitifs after their meals. So if you feel unsure about what you’ll need abroad, pack the travel essentials you’ll need – little things, such as aspirin. 

Things To Carry for International Travel

International Travel Documents

Your passport is essential as a form of ID in a US airport, to enter another country and re-enter the US again.  As for other travel documents to pack for international travel as a newbie, use your best resource – your airline.  They’ll answer your questions about what you’ll need to enter your destination country, providing info on tourist visas, inoculations, such as typhoid, and proof of negative Covid tests or vaccinations. And they’ll provide you with the necessary forms.  Your important documents for international travel must include:

• Passport
• Other documentation needed, such as visas
• Proof of travel insurance, if necessary
• Boarding passes
• Documents meeting Covid restriction requirements 

Packing for Travel During Coronavirus Travel Restrictions

There’s a very real threat of being denied boarding your plane or entry to a foreign country if you failing to meet coronavirus restrictions. When traveling internationally, be prepared. 

Pack for International Coronavirus Travel Restrictions

Meet your airline or destination Covid travel requirements and carry proof of vaccination and/or a negative Covid test. I’ve found some places want a hard copy and some want a digitized form or a QR code. To be safe, carry both forms no matter what’s required.  Before departing, ensure that you’re carrying the necessary:

• QR codes
• Proof of a negative Covid test 
• Vaccination card
• Printed and online forms
