COVID-19 travel guidance? Travel restrictions related to COVID-19 continue to vary greatly and constantly change, meaning the decision to travel—and the process of traveling—isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. TripIt’s COVID-19 travel guidance feature shows you the latest COVID-19 travel guidelines, restrictions, and requirements for the destinations you’re planning to visit. This information comes from our partner Riskline.
You can find destination-specific information about vaccination rates and requirements, approved vaccines, testing requirements, exemptions for vaccinated travelers, current infection rates, quarantine rules upon arrival, and other information you need to know before visiting the area.
If you’re a TripIt Pro user, you can search the feature to find all of the above information for destinations you’re planning to visit without needing them to be part of a TripIt itinerary. This is available in the Pro tab of the app.
The feature also provides airline-specific COVID-19 travel guidance, including airline-recommended apps to assist with travel and entry, airline-facilitated COVID-19 test availability and scheduling, and more.
There’s also a COVID-19 Summary screen so you can view crucial pre-departure information you may need to take action on before an international trip. These pre-trip details include vaccine and testing requirements for your destination, as well as apps recommended by your airline.
