My sisters brother-in-law forgot to check his passport was in date ! Discovered the night before at 10pm it was out of date , was he gutted ! His family flew off without him and he had to wait 2 days to get a new passport before he could fly out and join them .

Pack clothes (if a Couple) half in one case and half in the Other, or else.!!!!
Take a float in Euros and change the rest in resort..
Dont buy Electronics/cameras from "Indian Shops
Buying "Expensive" Watches off Loolie Lookie Men.

Plenty More including DONT take more Money than You need when going out...
Some add to the flavour of the Holiday, if not expensive

I have talked to several holiday makers now that have arrived and their cases have not.
I always put a set of shorts, top and swimwear in my hand luggage,

Check tickets are actually going where you want to go to! Said after friends spent 24 hours in wrong resort having not actually checked what they'd booked!

OH and passport - yup, made that mistake once already.

When you get off the plane make sure you have remembered your brain, and it is not left on board watching the in flight movie. So many tourists complain because they have had bags etc. stolen both at the airport and whilst on holiday simply because for some reason they do not keep their wits about them. NO it is not OK to leave personal possessions/bags etc on the beach unattended while everyone goes for a swim, NO it is not OK to get a large wad of money out in full view of people and then complain when you get mugged, NO it is not OK to leave cases and handbags unattended on the trolley at the airport while you sort out a taxi or wait for another case on the carousel etc. etc. All things that should be common sense but this seems to be left at home by a lot of people.

Start queuing in the Ryanair queue 2 hours before its due to open !!!

This may sound very obvious but make sure you have actually got the date right!

Having worked in travel agents for many years you would not believe how many people arrive at the airport a week early/late!

Another common mistake is people turning up at the airport on the wrong day as they have a very early morning/midnight flight and the check in date is actually the day before.
