Credit card: You will most likely require a credit card for hotel check in and car hire collection. Most credit cards charge you extra to make payments abroad. Click here for a helpful link to find cards that don't charge. This link will also tell you what your current card provider will charge you.

Cash: For most countries we would suggest having some cash in the local currency. In most cases you'll get the best rates by using a local cashpoint from a bank account that doesn't charge you to take cash out abroad. The link above also suggests debit cards that don't charge withdrawal fees.

Airlines generally stipulate policies in regard to travelling with e-cigarettes and vapes, which you will be made aware of during your check in process. You may also check the airline website in advance. Some destinations also do not allow travelling with e-cigarettes and vapes, and information can be found about this on the Foreign Travel Advice page of the official UK government website, or the Travel Advice page of the official Government of Ireland website.

If your flight is delayed it is best to speak to airline staff at the airport and follow the advice of the airline. For substanitial delays you can also contact Trailfinders via 'Urgent Assistance' on ViewTrail, this service will be available to you from the day of your departure.

If your luggage is lost or damaged, immediately report it to the airline's baggage desk in the arrivals hall before leaving the airport, as this creates a mandatory Property Irregularity Report (PIR). For damage, you must submit a written claim within 7 days. For more information, take a look at the CAA's guide to lost, delayed or damaged baggage.
