As the Holiday season rolls around, current events in the travel industry have made it essential for travel managers and business travelers alike to assemble good information regarding potential destinations. Most important are restrictions and quarantine rules, which vary widely between countries.
When it comes to Travel Restriction Guides, we have found several great ones. What you want are resources which are accurate, up to date and easy to navigate.
The Best
DELTA’S INTERACTIVE TRAVEL RESTRICTION MAP
(click to open)
Delta gets the highest marks for making a complicated subject simple. All the information you’ll need about which countries are restricted, quarantine and test rules, local conditions and other key points are all at hand and easy to use.
Very Good
UNITED’S INTERACTIVE TRAVEL RESTRICTION MAP
(click to open)
Almost identical, United’s map is a little less informative. Plus, like Delta’s map, destinations which are not available via the airline have no information, so you may have to use both to be fully informed, but at least you’ll know in advance who’s flying there.
Good
AMERICAN AIRLINES/SHERPA TRAVEL RESTRICTION GUIDE
(click to open)
Set up so that you have to enter your Departure location and then a Destination, the guide is a little harder to use if you’re researching multiple locations. Another issue is “false negatives” where a business traveler is told they can’t travel somewhere only to find they’re on a list of exceptions. On the bright side, the Sherpa half of the guide can give you details about what type of Visa is required at your destination.
Honorable Mention
BRITISH AIRWAYS COVID-19 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS GUIDE
(click to open)
All links, this country list has either a UK Government dossier which is detailed and thorough, or a Covid-19 info page at the host country, whichever has the most information. A timesaver.
Of course, the greatest timesaver is to have a Teplis agent do the work for you in booking your next corporate travel trip! They have access to the latest information from the airlines and can get you moving forward with the least effort.
Teplis clients can call our Reservation Hotline at (800) 950-2950 or your dedicated agent line for assistance.
