Organising a successful travel management programme runs much deeper than booking flights and accommodation – there are so many elements to consider that will affect your travellers. Share our pre-trip checklist for stress-free travel.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS
- Check your passport is valid for at least six months before travel and that it meets all the requirements of the countries you’re visiting. This also includes whether your trip history will affect entry into a destination. For example, UK travellers to the USA, who have visited Cuba in the last 11 years, are disqualified from using the ESTA visa waiver most UK arrivals use to travel to the US.
- If you have dual nationality, consider which passport you’ll be travelling on and if one is better than the other for the destinations you’re visiting.
- Find out if a visa is required at any stage of your journey and whether you’ll need transit visas.
- If travelling to Europe, ensure you’re compliant with Brexit regulations and stay within the Schengen Area’s 90/180 day visa-free stay rule.
AIRPORTS AND FLIGHTS
- Are your boarding cards all to hand? Download them to your wallet on your smartphone or, as a Reed & Mackay client, you can access everything at speed at R&M/Mobile, if you have opted for online check-in.
- Check whether you have fast track through certain airport security, speedy boarding and if you have lounge access.
- Be clear on baggage requirements for each airline you’re travelling with; are you taking hold luggage or cabin luggage only? If it’s the latter, determine whether you’re permitted an under-the-seat bag as well as one for the overhead locker.
- Pre-book meals on your flight, particularly if you have any dietary requirements.
- Book ahead if you need wheelchair – or any other kind – of assistance at your destination airports.
- For extra peace of mind, reconfirm your flights before making your return journey home.
stay safe on the move
- Find out whether your hotel provides free airport transfers or whether you need to book a transfer from an approved taxi service.
- Consider how you’re getting to meetings, or to your company’s office, from your hotel. Determine whether it’s safe to walk between appointments.
- When booking a hotel room, check its location and, for extra security, research the hotel’s safety measures and request a room away from the ground floor.
- If you’re likely to host any external meetings or dinners, ask for a list of company-approved venues and restaurants and work out how you’re getting to their location safely. And book ahead if you feel safer sitting in a particular part of a restaurant, whether that’s away from windows or at the back.
- If you’re hiring a car, check you’ve understood the fuel consumption the car uses and safe places to stop to refuel.
- When using public transport, check ahead about whether you need to purchase tickets locally, or if you can pre-book. Look to see how the local trains, underground, ferries etc operate and work out a safe route to reach them.
- Be aware of the number for the emergency services at your destination and note any emergency numbers you might need while you’re in that country.
- Do you have allergies? Carry a card or bracelet identifying your allergy and ensure you have the right medication to treat them.
- If you take medication, make sure you have enough for your trip and find out how you replenish it at your destination. Also worth checking is whether you can take that particular medication into the country you’re travelling to.
- Ensure you have the correct travel insurance policy for your destination. Pinpoint where the nearest hospitals are to where you’ll be staying and visiting, and understand what the process is if you’re taken ill.
- Find out what clothes are culturally acceptable in the country to which you’re travelling. Also consider the climate of the destination when packing, and whether you will adding a leisure stay at the end of your business trip.
- Ensure you have the right currency payment solutions for your destination.
- While many countries have lifted COVID-19 restrictions, check before you travel in case you still need masks on public transport. Be aware that some countries could revise their COVID-19 policies while you’re in the country.
- Take only costume jewellery when travelling and leave expensive items at home. Check what you’re allowed to bring into the destination in terms of money and valuables. And also ask the hotel where you can secure your laptop and other important items during your stay.
- Ask your company if they will provide any in-country training prior to your departure. Find out what the protocols are, should there be mass disruption (social or environmental) at your destination, what to do if the airport closes and how you get back home.
- If you’re combining leisure travel with a business trip, plan ahead for approved trips and excursions. What is your company’s duty of care policy for your spare time and/or extended stay? And also factor in if you’ll be travelling with family and what that means on your company’s travel policy.
pLAN B – THINKING AHEAD
- What’s your back-up plan if your luggage doesn’t arrive? Find out where you can easily source clothes for meetings.
- Know where your embassy is, in case of lost or stolen passport.
- Keep abreast of the news of where you are and keep in touch with back home and the office.
- Pre-book an additional night at your hotel – if your flight is cancelled and hotels are busy, it may make things simpler.
DID YOU KNOW…?

Clients will also find R&M/Protect, a unique travel risk platform providing traveller tracking.

Nice place and nice rooms. Like the Kuerig coffee maker in the room. Only downside is no elevator. The hotel is only two stories but at the altitude the air is a bit thin.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Carl402 No Elevator and Indifferent Receptionist
It is very inconvenient that they have a 2nd floor but has no elevators. I carry a big luggage as I am on the road 4 weeks straight. So carrying a 50lbs luggage to the 2nd floor is very inconvenient.
When I checked in, my travel agent made a mistake by just booking 3 nights instead of 6 nights. The lady receptionist was not friendly in delivering this news to me and did not even offered any suggestion and appeared that she just doesnt care.
November 14, 2015
Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Biggin0953 old facility.
First off, you really need to replace the hallway carpet in the 2nd floor hallway. Whatever they clean it with is not getting rid of the smell. The fact of no elevators is a negative. The fact that there is no morning breakfast is another negative. This facility is not a stellar asset to IHG.

Planning Your Spa Getaway
How to Book Your Stay
Tips for Getting the Best Rates
Booking your stay during off-peak seasons or on weekdays can help you get the best rates. Many spa resorts offer discounts during less busy times, so it’s worth doing some research to find the best deals. Additionally, consider booking your stay well in advance, as prices can increase as the date of your stay approaches.
Best Time to Book
The best time to book your stay will depend on the spa resort you choose and its policies. Some resorts offer early bird discounts for booking several months in advance, while others may offer last-minute deals. Be sure to check the spa resort’s website or contact their reservation team to find out when the best time to book is for your desired dates.
Insider Tips for Upgrades
If you’re looking to upgrade your stay, there are a few insider tips that can help. For example, if you book your stay directly through the spa resort’s website, you may be able to get a better rate than if you book through a third-party site. Additionally, consider asking for an upgrade at check-in, as the staff may be able to offer you a better room or package than what you originally booked. Finally, if you’re a loyal customer or member of a rewards program, don’t be afraid to ask for an upgrade or special perks.

Airlines Rules for Travel with Your Companion Animal
- Airlines Rules for Travel with your Companion Animal
Getting a plane ticket for yourself is easy but getting one for your pet takes a little more planning. Airlines have always restricted flight during extremely high or low temperatures, but a new federal rule, as well as some pet air travel tragedies, have resulted in more drastic changes within the airline industry. These new guidelines and restrictions may cause you some headaches and frustration but keep in mind that they have been put in place for your pet's safety.
Airline RulesContinental Airlines
As with most airlines, Continental allows small pets to travel in the cabin. For those pets traveling alone, Continental has brought in a new program called PetSafe QuickPak Cargo. Under their program, you reserve space for your pet well in advance and reconfirm those reservations 24 hours before flight time. Pets should be checked in as cargo from a special QuickPak Desk near the ticketing counter, one hour prior to flight time. The 24-hour help-desk will create an itinerary for your pet (depending on origin and destination temperatures). If your pet doesn't fly as reserved, you get your money back.
Continental has no specific pet embargo dates. If the temperature of the destination or arrival airport is over 85 degrees or less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit, your pet will not be allowed to fly cargo that day. For pets over 7 years of age, Continental strongly recommends a heart examination and bloodwork to make sure there is no underlying liver or kidney damage prior to flying.
If your pet is small enough to fly as carry-on, the charge is $75 each way ($150 round trip).
Delta has instituted a pet embargo from May 15 to Sept. 15. This means that no pets are allowed to fly cargo during these dates. Pets are still allowed as carry-on anytime throughout the year, but the kennel must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. If your pet is transported as carry-on or is traveling with you as cargo, the cost is $75 each way. If your pet travels by plane alone, there is a substantial cost difference. You will be able to pre-book a maximum of 7 days in advance and a minimum of 1 day of the desired flight. Upon arrival in the destination city, pets will be delivered to the Delta cargo facility within 60 minutes.
As with other airlines, pets are allowed as carry-on anytime during the year but there are size and number of pets limitations. If your pet travels as carry-on with you, the charge is $75 each way. Pets can also be shipped as cargo. United has no specific pet embargo dates. If the temperature of the destination or arrival airport is over 85 degrees or less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit, your pet will not be allowed to fly cargo that day.
American also has a pet embargo from May 15 to September 15. As with other airlines, small pets can accompany you as carry-on. If traveling with an owner, the cost is $80 each way. Prices vary if your pet is traveling alone. As of Septembeer 2002, the following pets are no longer accepted on flights:
American Pit Bull Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier
Exceptions will be made for service animals and official bomb- and drug-sniffing dogs (with documentation).
US Airways also has no specific embargo dates. Pet travel is prohibited when the outside temperature is over 85 degrees or under 10 degrees Fahrenheit. US Airways does not allow pets to travel in the cargo hold anymore because of extreme temperatures in Phoenix and Las Vegas, where we have two large hubs. The exception is shuttle routes between New York LaGuardia, Boston, and Washington National Airport. They do not allow pets to travel to Hawaii due to state agricultural rules. Pets traveling as carry-on cost $75 each way. For pets flying cargo, costs are based on weight and destination. Complete details are at usairways.com. US Airways (480) 693-5754.
Northwest has no specific embargo dates and determines if pet travel is allowed by daily temperature. Pet travel is prohibited when the outside temperature is over 85 degrees or under 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Pets traveling as carry-on cost $80 each way. For pets flying cargo, costs are based on weight and destination.
Southwest does not allow pets to fly at any time.
Five tips on traveling with your pet by plane:
Make reservations well ahead of time and confirm them 24 hours before takeoff.
All airlines require a health certificate issued within 10 days of your departure date, whether you're traveling within the United States or abroad. Your veterinarian will have to examine your pet and certify that he is free of disease and healthy enough to travel.
Note: animals must be at least 8 weeks old to travel by plane.
Be at the animal check-in (if you're handing over your pet yourself) at least 2 hours prior to a domestic flight or 4 hours prior to an international one, to allow plenty of time to complete the formalities.
Pets must travel in manufactured pet carriers homemade ones won't do. Label the carrier "Live Animal," and mark "up" arrows on all sides of the crate. Also, write your home address and telephone number clearly on the crate. All kennels must have fixed food and water bowls clipped on the door.
Flying Cabin Class
If your pet is flying in the cabin with you, remember:
Carry-on pets must be small enough to fit into a carrier that can be stowed under the seat. Animals are not allowed in the overhead compartments, and they must remain in their carriers until the plane lands. You can use any kind of hard carrier, but only certain soft (canvas type) carriers are allowed; find out which ones your airline accepts.
When making reservations, make clear whether you expect to carry your pet aboard or send him cargo. Most airlines allow each passenger to transport a maximum of two kennels as cargo or one small pet in the passenger cabin. Note, though, that the number of animals allowed in the cabin varies from airline to airline and that it's perfectly legal for a carrier to turn down your request.
If you plan to travel internationally with your pet, make sure to check with either the country's embassy or consulate well in advance. Some countries do not allow pets into their country and others require long quarantines. Import licenses and international health certificates may be required. Contact the country of your destination at least 4 weeks prior to travel. Don't arrive in the country unprepared. You may end up leaving your pet at the airport or returning home.

Regulations vary from airline to airline, so ask your carrier which procedures they follow. Some have brochures available by mail or check the websites below for specific information.

About this listing
With its nearby beach, gorgeous ocean view, upscale amenities, & secluded location; it’s no wonder our villa is a TripAdvisor’s Top Vacation Rental. Again & again, guests rave about our jungle paradise, and we’re sure you’ll fall in love with it too. Read a few of our guest reviews in the photo section.
OUTDOOR LIVING AT ITS BEST!
The spacious poolside terrace is one of the villa’s best features. French doors open onto a shaded living area, a separate sun-drenched deck and stunning views of the ocean. With plenty of lounge chairs and natural breezes, it’s a restful place to savor your morning coffee, sunbathe, or get caught up in a good book. All the while, you’ll be awed by the hummingbirds, Scarlet Macaws, and incredible blue butterflies—just a few of the species that populate the tropical garden and surrounding jungle.
When you’re ready for a dip, the private pool boasts scenic views of the Whale’s Tail and the coastline up to Manuel Antonio National Park. The estate is gated and completely private; there are no neighbors in sight!
GUESTS WHO LOVE OUR VILLA
This one-story villa has a natural flow to its design, and with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and an optional fourth bedroom, it provides plenty of space for extended families or several couples. The central dining and living area is flanked by two large bedrooms, including the master bedroom. Both have French doors that open onto the terrace. You’re literally steps away from the pool and you can view the ocean from most every room of the house.
The master bedroom is especially luxurious. It boasts views of the ocean and the pool, an en-suite bathroom with an oversized glass block shower, a plush queen-size bed, and a walk-in closet. You’ll feel pampered during your stay.
DESIGNED WITH ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Every detail was considered when designing Villa Mariposa. The villa has teak-beamed cathedral ceilings, custom handmade cedar doors, cabinets and furniture, and a fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens onto the outdoor terrace, so you can easily dine alfresco while watching the sunset. The house was built 800 feet above sea level and is cooled by natural breezes. In addition to all this, Villa Mariposa was built in 2009 and retains the look and feel of a brand-new vacation home.
SECLUDED LOCATION CLOSE TO THE BEST BEACHES, RESTAURANTS & ACTIVITIES
When it comes to location, the villa couldn’t be better situated. We’re minutes from Ventanas Beach—a virgin strip of palm tree studded sand hidden in a quiet bay. The surrounding cliffs and caverns add to the beauty of the area, and you can walk through the ocean caverns at low tide.

Hi there! I’m Ellen and it’s a pleasure to meet you!
I am a business and relationship coach living in Toronto with my husband. When we were envisioning our dream home, on our anniversary 12 years ago, we never imagined we would be hosting guests from around the world.
We were looking for a warm place with natural beauty and a great community of people where we could enjoy the winters and eventually retire. Like many of the world travellers who come to live here, we fell in love with this remarkably unique community of Ojochal with so much to offer. We are minutes from Costa Rica’s most beautiful, pristine beaches, exceptional restaurants, dramatic landscapes, impressive national parks, and activities that satisfy our sense of adventure.
We love our gorgeous ocean view of Ventanas beach and body surfing in the ocean there. It’s one of the most spectacular and pristine beaches in Costa Rica. We adore great food and it’s wonderful to be living minutes away from Ojochal, which is becoming the culinary centre of Costa Rica, and dining out at 5-star French, Italian and Thai restaurants in the jungle.
We value our privacy and appreciate the luxury of the private pool whether we are swimming in it, floating on it, lounging beside it or looking over it at the ocean view. It makes for a very intimate setting which is also wonderful to experience and share with good friends.
When it comes to the villa, I want guests to have a real Wow experience from the moment you walk in the door. Since we are not there full time, we entrust our guests to our English speaking property manager, Heather and Ben who will be there to greet you and they live nearby if you need any help. We have been renting the villa out for over 7 years and have become the top vacation rental in our area with rave reviews on TripAdvisor and other listing sites. I have just listed the villa for bookings on Airbnb and look forward to being a Super host here too!
I am adventurous, love being in nature, cycling, travelling and meeting new people. I also enjoy having quiet time with a good book. Some of my favourite activities are cycling, hiking, kayaking, gardening and having dinner with friends

RAPID CITY, S.D. (8/26/10) — Travel by South Dakotans will be up 11 percent over the holiday period last year, AAA reports. Of the 115,000 South Dakotans expected to travel, 102,937 will drive, an 11.5 percent jump over 2009 figures, and 3,217 will fly, an increase of 5.6 percent.
Barring any major tropical storm activity in the Gulf Coast region, AAA expects the South Dakota average price of self-serve regular gasoline to be between $2.70 and $2.80 per gallon during this holiday weekend. Today’s AAA Fuel Gauge Report (www.AAAFuelGaugeReport.com) shows the South Dakota average at $2.747, about 13 cents more than on Aug. 26, 2009.
AAA today projected the number of Americans traveling nationwide this Labor Day weekend will increase 9.9 percent from Labor Day of 2009, with approximately 34.4 million travelers taking a trip at least 50 miles away from home. Last year, 31.3 million Americans traveled during the Labor Day holiday. The 2010 Labor Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, September 2 to Monday, September 6.
“While media reports on the state of the U.S. economy are mixed, many Americans are apparently still interested in taking one more trip before the summer travel season comes to a close,” said Mark Madeja, spokesman for AAA South Dakota. “AAA travel agents are continuing to report strong increases in the number of travelers making advanced reservations. Hotel, car and vacation package reservations for the upcoming Labor Day weekend are up more than ten percent compared to last year. ”
The increase in travel for Labor Day appears to be the result of economic improvement over the past year. While job growth and home sales have been disappointing, gross domestic product, household net worth and consumer confidence have increased and consumer debt has decreased. The U.S. travel industry began to gain traction in the fourth quarter of 2009 and that momentum has carried over into this year.
“In addition to economic data, the date of the Labor Day holiday is another variable considered in the forecast,” Madeja said. “The earlier the holiday falls in September, the more people tend to travel. Although the growth in Labor Day travel is predicted to be strong, had the holiday fallen earlier in the month, the forecasted number of travelers would likely be even higher.”
Trips by automobile are expected to increase in popularity across the country with 91 percent of travelers, or 31.4 million people, reaching their destination by driving. This is an increase of 10.3 percent from last Labor Day when 28.5 million travelers went by motor vehicle. Leisure air travel is expected to account for just five percent of overall travel with 1.62 million holiday flyers. This is an increase of 4.6 percent from one year ago when 1.54 million flew. Trips by other modes, including rail, bus and watercraft, will be the dominant means of travel used by four percent of all travelers.
Today’s national average price for self-serve regular unleaded stands at $2.688, AAA says, six cents above the price one year ago. The auto club expects the national average to stay within the $2.65 to $2.75 range over the long holiday weekend.
Based on a survey of traveler intentions, the average distance traveled by Americans this Labor Day holiday weekend is expected to be 635 miles, slightly less than one year ago (645 miles). Median spending is expected to be $697 this Labor Day, nearly $50 more than last year when median spending was estimated at $650. Travelers say dining (63 percent), shopping (47 percent) and visiting with friends and relatives (43 percent) are the top three activities they’ll engage in during the upcoming holiday.
According to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index, airfares over the Labor Day holiday weekend are expected to increase nine percent from last year with the lowest round-trip rates moving up to $179 for the top 40 U.S. air routes. Weekend daily car rental rates will increase seven percent to an average of $46. Hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond-rated lodgings are expected to increase six percent from a year ago with travelers spending an average of $139 per night compared to $132 last year. Travelers planning to stay at AAA Two Diamond hotels can expect to pay two percent more at an average cost of $102 per night.
AAA offers a variety of travel planning tools including free TourBook travel guides and maps for members and the TripTik Travel Planner, also available free to travelers at AAA.com. Three iPhone apps offer access to AAA products and services on the go. The AAA TripTik Mobile app provides gas prices, directions and information on hotels, restaurants and attractions. The AAA Discounts app, which has been downloaded more than 880,000 times, uses GPS technology to acquire a user’s location and displays
AAA’s projections are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight. The Boston-based economic research and consulting firm teamed with AAA in 2009 to jointly analyze travel trends during major holidays. AAA has been reporting on holiday travel trends for more than two decades. The complete AAA / IHS Global Insight 2010 Labor Day holiday forecast can be found at AAA.com/news.
As North America’s largest motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides nearly 52 million members (89,650 in South Dakota) with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1902, the not-for-profit, fully tax-paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers.

One of our Level 3 Travel and Tourism students recently benefitted from a unique and excellent work experience opportunity at Newmarket Holidays.
Emily interviewed and impressed staff at Newmarket Holidays to secure her place as an ‘Elf’ for the Lapland Santa Experience Day trip. As a tour guide, she accompanied guests at the start of their journey at Bournemouth Airport until the end of their magical experience visiting Santa in Lapland.
“We practice customer service and presentation skills within assessments on the Level 3 Travel and Tourism course which has helped me prepare for working within travel,” said Emily.
She added, “This placement was an amazing opportunity to really work with customers on a special and festive experience,”
Jennifer Fasad, Travel and Tourism tutor, said, “Work experience is an essential part of this course and is a great opportunity for our students to put learning into practice. The collaboration with Newmarket Holidays has seen a number of our students benefitting from work experience with them.”
Later in the year, a group of our Travel and Tourism students will be visiting Newmarket Holidays for a workplace discovery day, giving them a chance to learn from industry experts about their journey and careers within the travel industry.
