Set the countdown date

Use a date-only countdown for the overall trip, with an end date for the return. Add a timed departure only when you need the exact moment. A departure abroad may use a different time zone from the phone you are checking.

Preparation checklist

Choose the tasks you need and add anything specific to your plans.

  • Confirm departure and return details against the current booking.
  • Save hotel and transport links without storing payment-card details.
  • Make a packing list for the destination and the activities you booked.
  • Check travel documents through the relevant official provider.
  • Arrange the journey to the airport or station.
  • Download the maps and confirmations you want available offline.

Review packing and departure details

Review the packing checklist a few days before leaving. Check the airline or transport provider again on departure day. Update the saved countdown if departure changes. Daymark does not track live delays.
