6 things to check before you depart on your next lastminute getaway

1. Your email auto-replies

Nothing’s worse than working on a holiday. Make sure everyone knows you’re out ‘Out of Office’ and feel free to add your Instagram handle so they can play along and have travel envy (why not, you’re on holidays).

2. The fridge and the bin

If you’re gone for more than a few days, make sure you donate or throw out any time-sensitive food in the fridge and empty your bin. You’ll save yourself doing it when you get home and your fridge won’t be a stinky mess!

3. The garage door

Those records you’ve got packed up in there are probably worth a lot of money, right? Double-check with a tug on the handle and you won’t have to worry about singing the blues.

4. Windows

Whip around your place and make sure they’re shut tight – there’s nothing that’ll rain on your parade like coming home to damp carpet.

5. The front & back doors

You can be guaranteed this will be the first thing that pops into your head as you breeze past the point-of-no-return. Lock it, unlock it, and lock it again or even take a photo with your phone for bonus peace of mind.

6. Keys, wallet and phone

Tap those pockets and check the handbag for the holy trinity – going away without these is a major headache. Not to mention your passport for OS trips. The lastminute app. Why? So you can plan your next getaway while you’re enjoying this one 😉
