Written by Menswear Style in Travel on the 23rd November 2022

Whilst it is nice to have a bit of excitement and spontaneity on your travels, having different activities and bookings in place is something that can add to your excitement. If you know when you’re going, where to, and what you’re going to do, then you can plan accordingly, safe in the knowledge you’re prepared for what you’re going to do. Wondering about the best ways to get a perfect plan together for your trip? Check out the list we’ve put together here to help you out.

Book in Advance

One of the most sensible ways to guarantee you’ll be able to get to do what you want, stay where you want, and eat where you want is to book in advance. When you reserve tickets in advance you’re giving yourself an idea of what you need to work around. This could be your plane tickets, accommodation, excursions, restaurant reservations, and so on. If you have a loose idea of all these different things and get some bookings firmly in place, you’re not going to end up disappointed when you go away - the best, most popular places usually get too busy for last-minute reservations. If you do this, you can still incorporate time into your trip where you have the freedom to explore what you want, you’ll just have the structure in place to mean you don’t have to worry about what you’re doing on arrival.

Research, Research, Research

Research is key with travel, especially if you’re going somewhere totally unfamiliar. See what is recommended by others, think about what you want to go to your destination for, and determine how much you’re going to need to budget. When you put the research in, you can find out areas you may need to avoid, as well as hidden gems that you may not have necessarily already heard of.

Write Down an Itinerary

Once you’ve started to build an idea in your head of your plans, it’s best to write them down in an easy-to-understand itinerary. Put what you’ve booked in, where you could potentially go or what you could do, and how long it will take you to get from A to B. This will also allow you to work out the budget you need as you can figure out all of the costs involved.

Pack in Advance

Whilst you don’t need to pack months before, it is a great idea to start gathering what you need in good time, to avoid a stressful dash to the airport on the day. Once you start to put things in your suitcase, you’ll figure out what you may be missing and what you need to buy. It’s much cheaper to get your essentials before you fly, as if you remember whilst you’re at the airport then it can prove to be much more expensive. Check out this travel packing checklist here. By putting together a plan for your trip, you’re guaranteeing a smoother, less stressful journey and holiday. Get started today!
