Are you wanderlust at heart? Does the travel bug bite you often? COVID-19 must have put a serious damper on your spirits! The good news is the world is now inching towards normalcy as vaccines and boosters are rolled out amongst the general public. It also means that you can get back to planning the perfect vacation to unwind yourself.

Albeit with a few added steps and precautions, traveling has resumed nearly worldwide. If you’re planning to travel in 2022, you must look at this comprehensive international travel checklist to prepare yourself.

Planning Your Destination

Before anything else, you must figure out your destination beforehand. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing the perfect destination in the wake of COVID-19. Here’s how you can choose the right one:

• Check out vaccination requirements, quarantine period (if any), and COVID-19 laws and restrictions of the country.
• Avoid countries that have a high COVID-19 positivity rate.
• Choose a destination that has flexible and refundable flights and accommodation.

Budgeting

When budgeting for the trip, you may have to account for all these additional factors:

• Quarantine costs.
• Hiked up ticket prices.
• More expensive accommodation, food, and local commute.
• Cost of COVID-19 tests from your origin to destination and back.

What to Pack

COVID-19 has also changed the way you used to pack for your vacations. In addition to all the things that you used to pack, you must also take care of the following:

• Keep all your COVID-19 related documents safely with you. (Proof of vaccination, test results, etc.)
• Keep a couple of boxes of masks (depending on your usage frequency) and bottles of sanitizers (check the liquid container requirements of your airline beforehand).
• Add small water bottles and snacks to your hand carry, especially if you’re going on long-haul flights (as the airport shops/restaurants might be closed).

While Traveling

While traveling, you must ensure that you’re following all the rules laid out by the airline. Also, keep the following things in mind:

• Check out the airline’s COVID-19 precautions to see if it meets your needs.
• Wear a mask at all times.
• Avoid close physical contact with people you meet at the airport or on the flight.
• Be extra cooperative with the airline crew and don’t break protocol.
