Traveler Tips
Travel Checklist
Preparing for a relaxing vacation can ironically be stress-inducing. But, being prepared and having a checklist goes a long way. From making sure your passport is valid to remembering to pack your phone charger, here’s the ultimate travel checklist to bolster confidence ahead of your trip.
Last-Minute Packing
Putting off packing is almost a travel pastime, but a Travel Consultant can only help so much—the packing is on you! If you realize you haven’t packed the night before a trip, don’t panic. You can still travel with confidence with these essential last-minute packing tips.
Traveling with Kids
From point A to point B, traveling with kids can be a chaotic journey. The bottom line: it’s always worth it. This amazing family experience shouldn’t be ignored just because it seems like the most stressful thing you can imagine. There are ways to travel right with little ones.
Why Use a Travel Agent?
With an endless scroll of choices today, expert advice can be just the thing you need to make a decision. Travel agents are not just selling travel; they’re sharing their passion. With expert insights, perks, peace of mind, and more, travel agents bring a human touch to help you see the world better.
Foods to Avoid Before a Flight
As much as we all love to travel, the flying part isn’t always fun—and sometimes it’s not fun on the stomach. As it turns out, flying across the sky at several thousand feet in the air isn’t natural on the body. But there are ways you can improve your in-flight experience by what you consume beforehand.
The Benefits of Booking Last-Minute
Ever wake up feeling like you just need a vacation? Who ever said you couldn’t just go? Planning ahead may lead to a more robust experience, but there is a thrill to spontaneity that is truly unmatched. Plus, there are some other perks of taking that last-minute getaway that you simply can’t plan.

Accessibility Is a Priority

Travel Insurance: To Buy or Not to Buy?
The benefits of travel far outweigh the risks, but this doesn’t mean the risks aren’t there. Protect yourself with travel insurance to potentially receive:
- Reimbursement for canceled trips.
- Medical care in case of emergency.
- Replaced lost items.
But most of all: peace of mind.
Important Information
Each airline has specific baggage requirements and fees, so we suggest asking your Travel Consultant directly or viewing our comprehensive list of airline baggage policies and requirements.
The generally recommended time of pre-arrival is two hours for domestic travel and three hours prior to departure when flying internationally.
A passport is the best form of identification when traveling and a requirement for international travel. Domestic travel within the United States requires a state-issued driver's license or identification.
Please Note: On May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. If you aren’t sure if your ID complies with REAL ID, check with your state department of motor vehicles or click here to see if you’re REAL ID ready.
Visas for international travel are required for U.S. citizens by some countries for entry and will be advised at the time of booking. If you are not a U.S. citizen, we advise you to speak with the consulate where you are a passport holder.
Although no one likes to spend more money, the truth is that anything can happen when traveling. Trip delays, interruptions, or even cancellations can cause unexpected headaches and expenses, but travel insurance can help make sure you are protected for adjustments you need to overcome these situations. If you have a covered reason, you can be reimbursed for pre-paid non-refundable expenses, like a medical emergency or loss of employment before your trip even begins. Liberty Travel has partnered with Allianz Global Assistance to provide travel insurance. Click here to learn more.
When checking into your resort or hotel you will need your valid driver's license or passport, along with a major credit card for incidentals.
When booking with Liberty Travel, there are multiple ways to gain a copy of your documents. You can email your Travel Consultant or get them directly through our Liberty Travel Go app, which allows you to access your trip itineraries directly from your smartphone.
