When you're not in the driver's seat

Travelling by public transport can be the cause of much anxiety for many travellers.

• Allow plenty of time to arrive at the station, airport or dock – much anxiety is involved in arriving late!

• Check you have all travel documents before you leave home including visas and that your passport is valid for the return journey.

• Listen carefully to any safety advice you are given and be aware of any emergency instructions

• Carry any medication in your hand luggage.

• If you have had any surgery, ear problems or other medical condition recently, discuss it with your doctor and tell the airline or travel company before you go.
