1) Insurance: Lost luggage can be a nightmare, let alone getting injured or falling seriously ill on holiday.
2) Injections: They are'recommended' for lots of destinations, but are not always essential to gain entry to the country. Precautionary injections are always wise, especially if malaria is prevalent.
3) Correct visa: America, China, India and Australia are among the countries requiring visas. A2B provide a service to check whether or not a visa is required - but people booking holidays online can get caught out.
4) Extra information: This will be needed to enter Spain from June 13 this year. People booking flights through airlines may be able to complete an on-line questionnaire, but those booking package holidays could face a lengthy queue at the airport.
5) Restrictions: Be aware that restrictions still apply to items carried in hand luggage. Liquids and makeup can still be a problem.
