ASTA Offers Honeymoon Tips
The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) is offering tips on planning the perfect honeymoon. These include starting early; thinking about the ideal trip; picking the location; setting a budget and splashing out on accommodation. A particularly useful tip was:
Unless a couple is planning on taking a delayed honeymoon, the bride won’t have time to change the name on her passport and driver’s license. She should use her maiden name on visas, airline tickets, etc., so they match as it appears on official documents.
