- Make sure your credit card or bank account has sufficient funds.
- Check with your university about the airport pickup service. Confirm that this service is avilable on the date and time of your arrival.

Trivia
- Book the flight as early as possible.
- If possible, book the flight with a friend or two. If this is your first-time flight travel, it is quite natural to feel anxiousness and excitement at the same time. Also, since you are traveling to a foreign land, having a friend alongside should help reduce your anxiety.
- Always pick the best baggage allowance over the flight fare for your first time. You would want to carry all you can to support yourself for at least a year.
- You can only avail the student offer for flight booking this one time. So take full advantage of it. Next time you travel, you will have a German National Visa, not a Student Visa.
- If you think that there is a possibility of rescheduling or canceling the flight, it is a good idea to book your flight on the respective airline's website rather than a third party website. It is going to be a bit of hassle with third party websites to reschedule or to get your refund, whereas the process will be pretty straightforward with original airline's website.
- Here's an interesting fact. There's an advantage with searching for flights in incognito or private browsing mode to see the lowest prices. Based on the cookies in your browser, flight prices do increase when a particular route is repeatedly searched.
