When you land, you’ll want to be able to get going straight away, and you’ll enjoy your flight more if you know you’ll feel refreshed at the end of it. One way, used by our cabin crew, is helping to trick yourself into adjusting to your new time zone. Adjust your watch to the destination time as soon as you board, and tell yourself that you’re in that time zone already. 

Depending on your destination, you may need proof of different vaccinations before you travel. This isn’t just Covid-19; Saudi Arabia requires visitors for the Hajj to prove vaccination against certain types of meningitis, while the NHS recommends vaccination against typhoid if travelling to South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. 

Student life means budgeting. Between living costs and having less time to work because of your studies, you need to make sure you’re getting value for money. Consider downloading a budgeting app, so you can plan and keep track of your spending. PocketGuard, TripCoin, and TravelSpend have great features, but many banks also offer budgeting features within their apps.
