Stress free packing checklists.

Read this before you book your next Airport transfer to Belfast City Airport or transfer to Belfast City Airport or transfer to Dublin Airport with Northpoint Taxi or Northpoint Irish Tours. We have 7 seater vehicles to cater for families and larger groups.

Pack all your important need to reach items and medication in your hand luggage so they're easily accessed on your flight or tour. Nothing is worse for stress levels than digging through your main bag annoying your fellow travellers while looking for that 1 tiny chapstick which is always invariably stuck at the very bottom of you bag.

Passport and travel documentation. Also ror purchasing duty free shopping for example.

Sunscreen and sunglasses - the sun does shine here and if you are driving your eyes will tire much more quickly from road glare.

Camera/smartphone to capture your trip highlights. Mobile phones are okay but a dedicated travel camera will give you much more options.If you lose your phone off a cliff or the ocean or run out of power congratulations - now you have no camera, no torch, no ready means of translating or making digital payments etc.

Noise cancelling headphones and blackout blindfolds. To ensure a good night's sleep if you are staying in a busy/noisy city which in tourist areas is every hotel.

Comfortable/waterproof shoes for possibly some rough/muddy /sandy terrain.

Cash - cards are accepted nearly everywhere but carry cash for smaller purchases to save on transaction fees, vending machines and maybe tipping.

Phone data plans- make sure your mobile phone plan will work at your destination country as many pay as you go plans in the uk will not work on the continent. No phone means no calls, no internet, no digital money payments and very importantly - no SatNav for your car!

Travel adapters and chargers - different countries have different wall plug designs and voltages so double check before you go.

Roll, not fold your clothes to save space and minimise creasing. (Maybe decide to only pack crease free clothing so no cotton or linen items) Remember to leave extra room for your souvenirs, duty free and other purchases!

Do you really need check in luggage for your flight? I personally haven't put check in luggage on a flight in more than 20 years! There is no possibility of lost luggage, no extra airline fees, little chance of having items stolen from your bag and you will have less to carry.

Enjoy, not endure your trip!

 

 

Remember Northpoint Taxi will always cater for your flight requirements, 24 hours / every day of the week.
