As travel begins to open up, keep in mind everything may not be as you are used to it. It is more important than ever to plan ahead. Look over your reservations and spend some time making sure things are in order.
For instance, make paper copies of all your reservations. Why? It’s just one more back up for you. Plus, airlines may require different forms when checking in for a flight. This includes flight info, hotel reservations, and your vaccination record.
If you are like many travelers, it’s fun to stop somewhere you hadn’t planned. You see a cute roadside café or an interesting winery. Chances are now, you will need a reservation. Keep that in mind.
Schedules have always changed…especially when purchasing air reservations in advance. That may become intensified as airlines work through pandemic rules. Airports will probably have new rules as well. You could check to see what is different in airports you will be using. Be prepared to wear a mask at all times during the flight, unless you are eating or drinking.
Rental cars…very short supply as companies sold off some of their inventory during the pandemic. Check and double check your reservation. Again, make paper copies of all your reservation info. Be prepared to pay much more than you used to, as well.
