#FlyThroughSummer Safely! 🌞✈️
Whether you're travelling with friends for the first time or heading off on a solo backpacking adventure, these simple tips can help you stay safe on your travels:
✅Before you travel, get travel insurance as soon as you book and make sure it covers all your planned activities, check whether you need a visa or other entry documents, and familiarise yourself with local laws and customs.
When you're away...
🛂 Keep your valuables safe, especially your passport.
👭 Stick with friends and let someone know your plans.
🍹 Be aware of the risks of drink spiking and methanol poisoning. While uncommon, both can have serious consequences for travellers.
👀 Keep an eye on your drink at all times and don't accept drinks from strangers. If a drink smells or tastes unusual, don't drink it.
✅ Buy alcohol from licensed venues and be cautious of unlabelled bottles, free shots, or unusually cheap deals claiming to be branded alcohol.
