10 ways to make your travel smooth

Things will go wrong when travelling. That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and use services you can rely on to minimise any disruption.

• Build your own itinerary with every booking reference, contact number and booking details at your finger tips.
• Confirm your bookings in advance.
• Allow a buffer at every leg of your travel journey.
• Expect the unexpected. Pack an umbrella, a snack and some spare underwear. You never know.
• You get what you pay for so don’t cheap out unecessarily.
• Avoid the “she’ll be right” plan. Whilst it can work, and it can even be fun… it can also be absolutely disastrous.
• How will you make contact? Ensure you’ve got phone numbers, emails, a mobile with reception, an active sim-card and battery life. (Bring your charger in your carry-on!!)
• If travelling with kids or your high-energy friend, be sure to plan ahead with some activities. Devices and ANC headphones are an easy solution, but you might want to think about a few sweet treats, puzzles and books as well. Personally, I recommend finding a great audiobook.
• Upgrade your travel. If flying with Qantas, Townsville is home to a Qantas Club. Some Credit Cards will give you access to this if you’re not a frequent flyer. But there are other ways. Check out the extra leg-room seats in the exit rows on your flight for example.
• Finally, if you really want a great trip in Townsville, book with Townsville Transfers. We want to help you have fabulous experience whether arriving or departing so let us know how we can help.
