WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 19, 2022) — So far this year, flight cancellations, wintery weather and the COVID-19 omicron variant have all combined to create the perfect storm for travelers. However, AAA’s travel advice makes it possible to travel in the pandemic without losing your mind or your money.

What to Know Before Traveling in 2022

Anticipate the expenses associated with delays and cancelations including the possibility of having to stay longer if stranded.

Pack N95 or KN95 masks, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and disposable gloves in your carry-on and make sure it is easily accessible.

Purchase travel insurance that specifically provides coverage for travel interruption and additional expenses due to COVID-19.

Notify credit card providers of your travel details (specify location and duration) to reduce the risk of frozen cards due to unusual activity.
