3. Check each transit point separately, even when you remain airside.
4. Carry offline copies of the passport identity page, entry authorisation, ticket and essential contacts while keeping originals secure.
5. Store encrypted backup copies in an account you can access if your phone is lost.
6. Recheck requirements shortly before departure through the airline and responsible authorities.
