Printout or copy of your E-ticket and flight ticket: what is it, and should you take it with you on a trip or while backpacking?

What is a printout or copy of your E-ticket and flight ticket?

  • An e-ticket is your digital flight ticket, usually a PDF with your flight details, booking number (PNR), name, and sometimes a QR or barcode.
  • A printout or copy of it is exactly what it says: a printed version of that e-ticket – or an extra saved copy (offline on your phone, USB or in the cloud).

What can you use a printout or copy for when traveling and backpacking?

  • Back-up in case your phone dies, runs out of battery or gets stolen.
  • Some airlines still ask for a paper printout at check-in.
  • Border crossings (such as with visa on arrival) often ask for proof of exit – a printout is then faster than searching your inbox. Especially if you don't have access to the internet.
  • Proves that you have actually booked a flight (and are not just standing at the gate for wifi). Also for visa applications you sometimes have to show it as proof of departure.
  • Handy for delays and overbookings.

When do you take a printout or copy of your E-ticket/flight ticket with you on a trip or while backpacking?

  • Always when you fly or enter a country where visa or customs regulations are strict. Then you don't want to be dependent on a bad internet connection.
  • When you transfer in countries that require proof of exit (for example in Thailand, Indonesia, USA).
  • For flights with low-cost airlines (Ryanair, AirAsia, etc.), they can be difficult at the gate.

Where can you also get a copy of your E-ticket/flight ticket locally in the world?

  • In hostels or hotels (ask nicely - or buy a drink as printing money).
  • At internet cafes and libraries.
  • Are you very last minute? Then it is sometimes even possible to print at airports, sometimes at kiosks or information desks.
  • Also feel free to ask at the local supermarket, convenience store or copy shop.

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a long trip abroad?

What is round the world travel insurance or long-term travel insurance?

  • Round the world travel insurance means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during all your activities abroad, and which is specifically intended for those who travel for long periods of time, such as world travelers, globetrotters, and nomads.

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a long trip abroad?

  • Round the world travel insurance provides coverage for a much longer trip than regular travel insurance.
  • World travel insurance is specifically intended for longer trips, whereas regular travel insurance may offer coverage on paper, but in practice handles it differently.
  • World travel insurance is suitable for many types of activities, ranging from high-altitude trekking to more risky sports.
  • World travel insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you did not take out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance that provides coverage while abroad.
  • Long-term travel insurance continues to provide coverage when your home country's health insurance no longer does.
  • Worldwide travel insurance also covers your medical expenses up to the actual cost, and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • Worldwide travel insurance can also continue to provide coverage if negative travel advice is issued.

What is important to insure when you are going to travel around the world?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the countries where you are going to travel and posibly work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your full period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work or voluntary work during your world trip.

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
