COVID-19

It’s been more than a year since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and with the arrival of promising vaccines, travel is finally starting to rebound.

But the COVID-19 pandemic is still an evolving situation, and for people thinking about hitting the road again, travel looks quite different. Airlines have largely waived change and travel fees, hotels are offering unusual perks such as on-site COVID-19 testing and cruises are only just beginning to return to service.

Read our latest news and guides for everything related to traveling during and after the pandemic, including how digital health passports will shape the industry, quarantine regulations, testing requirements, mask tips and more.
