Holiday Search and Compare
Here at Travelsearch.co.uk we have assembled travel advice, information and tips to help you enjoy your UK or foreign holiday.
Packing Tips
Experienced travellers only take what they need. Consider the weather conditions you'll encounter on holiday, and the activities that you'll do, and then pack accordingly. Be minimal with your packing and travel light. Remember, if you are travelling by plane your baggage will be subject to the airline's weight limits.

If you are carrying hand luggage onto a plane there are now strict rules in place as to what you can and cannot take on board. All liquids and creams must be in containers of 100ml or less in size. Sharp objects are not allowed and any medication, tablets and personal hygiene items like toothpaste must be separated from the rest of your items and placed in clear plastic bags for inspection at airport security. Bottled water is allowed on the aircraft, but only if it has been purchased from the airport AFTER you have passed through security.
Health Advice
When travelling overseas it is important to seek advice on health issues that may affect you on holiday. These are wide-ranging, and include malaria, sunstroke and diseases such as hepatitis and SARS. Know how to prevent health problems abroad, and get familiar with the vaccinations that you might need to take before visiting specific countries. For malaria consider taking malaria tablets. These should be taken before you travel and for up to 4 weeks after you come back to counter the malaria incubation period.
Travel Insurance
It is strongly recommended that you take out some form of travel insurance before you depart on holiday. There are now many companies offering travel insurance, and you can find them by using Travel Search. Travel insurance will help you meet the cost of medical treatment should you fall ill in a foreign country. If you take out a comprehensive travel insurance policy all of your costs may be covered.
