Have you confirmed your airline reservations 72 hours
before departure?
International travel regulations require you to do so
and doing so may alert you to any flight schedule changes.

Do you have name and address labels on the inside and
outside of all your luggage?
Use your SCSU address, as this will facilitate finding
your bags should they be misplaced by the airlines during
travel. Identification tags are available from the airlines.

Have you practiced packing your luggage
in advance of your departure?
This will give you an idea of what and how much you can
take. Check with the airlines regarding their luggage size,
number and weight policy. Excess baggage sent by sea takes
6 weeks to 6 months to arrive, depending on where it is
sent from; check with your local shipper.
Can you carry your own luggage
for at least one-half kilometer or a quarter of a mile?
If not, you may want to consider purchasing a collapsible
luggage cart to assist you.
Do you have personal items packed in
your carry-on bag in case your luggage is lost or delayed?
Check with the airlines concerning the size, weight and
content restrictions for a carry-on bag. Here are a few
suggestions for items to include in your carry-on bag:
- change of clothing
- book or magazine
- snacks
- toothbrush & toothpaste
- brush or comb
- medications - in their original
containers
Did you check one last time to make
sure you have all your important documents?

countries will require additional documents.
- I-20 or DS2019 from SCSU
- passport
- visa
- airline ticket(s)
- Small packages may be temporarily sent
in your name to the Center for International Studies. We
