Everything you need to know about check-in

Identity documents:

Regardless of the destination, all passengers (including babies) need to provide valid proof of identity.

Before your journey, please check the formalities for entering and staying in the country or countries that you are travelling to or through by contacting the embassy or consulate of those countries. You will need to have the required documents with you:

• identity card,
• passport,
• visa, etc.

You are responsible for checking the validity date of these documents, and renewing them if necessary (making sure you allow enough time, because the waiting time may be quite long).

Please be aware: some countries require you to have a passport that remains valid for several months after your return. In addition, you may be asked to show a return or onward ticket.

Health recommendations

Repatriation for health reasons - your health when travelling abroad:

• If you have an accident or fall ill while travelling abroad: If you haven't taken out any specific insurance, you will have to pay the repatriation costs. Remember to take out insurance with a travel insurance company.
• When travelling within the European Union: Before you leave, remember to get a copy of the E111 form from your Social Security office. If you have filled in this form, you won’t need to pay any medical fees upfront (medical appointments, medication, hospitalisation). Special cases: in the United Kingdom, medical care is free of charge; however, students and seconded employees will be required to show the E128 form.
