Stress-Free Tips For Travelling Right

Are you gearing up for an exciting journey to the V-Convention in Penang this May? Though there might be some changes since your last trip away, such as longer airport queues, the excitement of travel remains unchanged. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or venturing out for the first time in a while, these tips will help ensure a stress-free travel and enjoyable experience.

Here are the most important ones:

Sort out the essentials

Firstly, check that your passport is up-to-date to avoid any last-minute hassles. Passport renewals can sometimes take longer than expected, so it’s best to handle this early on. 

If you need a visa for your travel, especially to V-Convention in Malaysia, most countries need your passport to be valid for at least six more months from your planned travel dates. 

Just as important is looking into insurance. Make sure you secure comprehensive travel insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances during your trip. 

Study up

Once you’ve decided to attend #VMalaysia2024 or another destination, take the time to find out what’s required of travellers. Stay informed about entry protocols and any health and safety guidelines in place. 

Checking official government websites and travel advisories will provide you with the most up-to-date information. Traveller forums are also a good source of information.

Be flexible

While preparing for your trip, it’s essential to remain adaptable to changes in circumstances. Travel plans can sometimes shift unexpectedly, so having a flexible attitude will help you navigate any challenges that may arise. Consider alternative options or adjustments to your itinerary if needed.

Whether you choose a holiday abroad or a local one, there are many off-the-beaten-path international, homegrown and staycation options on QVI, QNET’s all-in-one holiday booking platform. 

Sort out itineraries and stays

As essential as flexibility is, you should, nevertheless, aim to finalise and settle things like flight, travel itineraries and especially, accommodation beforehand. To avoid last-minute surges, flights and hotels selling out, and prices skyrocketing, lock in your stays early. 

QVI Vacay lets you find deals at great deals through its special rates, VIP discounts and coupon features. Coupled with that is the chance to enjoy redeemable nights and year-end rewards for booking and consuming your bookings. 

And, if you’re a QVI Club Member, your long-term benefits will come in handy with QVI Club, where you can book your holidays with family for up to 10 years.

Be responsible and vigilant

As you embark on your journey, whether you’re coming to V-Convention 2024 or going elsewhere, prioritise your health and safety at all times. Follow local guidelines and recommendations, practice good hygiene, and avoid travel if you’re feeling unwell. Pack a travel kit with essential items like masks, sanitisers, and wipes to stay prepared throughout your trip.
