Manama: Social workers are urging those traveling home to be extra vigilant as the number of air passengers increases as the school holidays begin. Precautions should be taken to avoid the situation of traveling with minor negligence.
Due to the increase in congestion, some airlines are taking a fixed percentage extra bookings. If someone cancels the trip, the person with the extra booking will get the seat. However, if the seat is full, a few will have to return. Twenty passengers had to return from the airport the previous day. In this case, social worker Fazalul Haq suggested that passengers arrive at the airport three hours early and complete the boarding process. If you arrive late, you may not get a seat. It may not be possible to reach the airport on time as the roads are congested. Therefore, one should be careful to get off early in anticipation of traffic congestion.
The validity of the passport should be confirmed before preparing for the trip. There are those who miss the trip because they do not pay attention to the expiration date. It should be noted that the validity of a child’s passport is five years. Also make sure that you carry luggage of the size specified by the airline.
Documents such as CPR, newborn birth certificate and marriage certificate should be kept in the handbag. This document will be useful if for any reason these documents are required. A family’s trip was canceled yesterday because the birth certificate of a three – month – old child was left in the check-in luggage. The reason for checking the birth certificate was that the passport of the child born in Bahrain was not updated in the emigration.
Late travelers should be careful to go to the gate without spending too much time at the duty free shop. There have also been incidents where travel has been disrupted due to delays in wandering around the duty free shop. Be careful not to forget your passport and other documents while shopping.
