With summer in full swing, many of us are contemplating crowded airports, last-minute packing, and the excitement of finally ticking off those long-awaited destinations. But amid the rush to remember your passport and whether you locked the front door, there’s one detail that’s easy to overlook: how you’re going to stay connected once you land.
A working internet connection abroad isn’t the luxury it once was. Not only do we want to keep in touch and ensure our socials are full of jealousy-inducing snaps, but many destinations are much easier to visit with mobile service. That could be anything from ordering a rideshare at the airport to navigating unfamiliar streets and communicating with the accommodation staff. In other words, reliable data can make the difference between a stressful arrival and a smooth start to your trip.
