FOUR TRAVEL ESSENTIALS THAT YOU MUST CARRY WHILE TRAVELLING

This pandemic may have put the brakes on travel, but this scenario is not forever. Be it for business, personal emergencies or just a simple road trip, travellers are already on the road. I recently did a short road trip too from Enakulam to Banglore , to be with my parents and although it didn’t really feel like a trip, it did feel good travelling. I was so excited to even see the highway and to feel the wind on my face.However, in the current scenario, safety cannot be compromised at any cost, be it travelling for work or a short leisure trip, either by road or by flight. And it starts with packing travel essentials. So, if you have a trip coming up, do ensure that you have these travel essentials ready with you as I give you these travel packing tips.

Your Dream Vacation is Here

1.Masks and face shields

 The masks have become an integral part of our lives, even if you are going for a walk in the park. But if you are travelling, especially in a flight or in a train with people, then get yourself an N95 mask or something similar that protects you completely.  However, I prefer a face shield in addition to the mask, so that it offers double protection and protects my eyes as well. A pair of gloves is also recommended. If you are on a road trip with your family, then always have a mask.

2.Sanitisers and Disinfectants

The hand sanitiser is also an important travel companion when it comes to travel packing tips. I always carry a small bottle in my hand luggage, which is permitted in flights. And keep a bottle always handy in your car as well. It is also advisable to carry a small soap as well some tissues so you can clean the surfaces with them, be it in your car, the seat in the flight or any other surface in your surroundings. Always remember to keep washing your hands as often as you can or use the sanitiser regularly.

3.Water and food

 Carry your own water and avoid using plastic bottles. While this is mandatory even before COVID, it’s even more important now. Carry eco-friendly disposable cups and plates and cutlery to use, while you are travelling. Try carrying food from home and some fruits and nuts or even ready to eat snacks.

4.Contactless Credit Card

For all your payment needs, opt for contactless payments. You can use contactless credit cards such as Contactless SBI Credit Card that allows you to make instant, safe and secure payments. All you need to do is simply tap your Contactless SBI Card on the NFC enabled Point of Sale (POS) machine to make payments. No PIN or signature is even required for transaction amount of up to Rs. 2,000.
