When flying international you must remember that you are going to a totally different country which has its own laws, practices and regulations. Therefore, while you would be rejoicing the travel to a land of different culture and customs, you must also be careful to be on the right side of law. One of the most important things to check out for are the travel documents. 

These documents shall be appropriate and as per the requirement of the destination country. Sometimes, when there is an intermediary stop in a third country, it is important to have proper documents for entering into that country as well. So, what are the travel documents we would need for international flights?

1.       Passport- This is one of the most important documents needed for international travel. This acts as a valid identification proof for traveling to a foreign land. This single document is acceptable to all the countries of the world.

2.       Air ticket- Quite naturally you would need a confirmed air ticket, either in printed or soft form, to be able to travel. This shall be retained along with the boarding pass for some time after the journey has happened.

3.       Visa and transit Visa- Without a Visa issued by the foreign country, you cannot gain an entry into it. Even when you are flying through some cities, you might need a transit visa. The regulations vary from one country to another.

4.       Special Documents- Certain documents are required to be produced in certain special circumstances or when people fly with certain special passengers. These documents could be:
