What should I consider when planning a trip in 2022?

What should I consider when planning a trip in 2022?
It seems that it has become more difficult to plan trips – flights are regularly canceled and postponed, airports in the south of the country have been closed for several months, and there are more questions than answers when traveling abroad.

However, today we will put everything "on the shelves" and try to understand if it is really so difficult to plan a vacation?

Accommodation booking services
The main question that worries everyone is "where to live when you come to another city?" Booking or Airbnb services are not working now, but this does not mean that you will have to spend your free time at home or in the country.

What are the booking options?

directly through hotels, each large hotel has its own website;
through tour operators or agents;
online booking services "Island", "Daily", "OneTwoTrip", as well as "Avito" and others;
when going abroad, you can find accommodation through VKontakte groups, but in this case it is worth rechecking all the data as carefully as possible.
And of course, remember that many rooms are occupied during the season, so you should look for a hotel at least a week before your trip.

What is the best way to travel?
Practically nothing has changed in the matter of transport since the pandemic – a lot depends on the direction and your budget. You can travel by private car across Russia or to the nearest foreign countries (Armenia, Georgia), as well as purchase plane tickets to open countries or almost any city in Russia.

Tickets for any flight are cheaper if you buy them in advance, but everyone is afraid to lose their money due to flight cancellations. We recommend choosing the "golden mean" and purchasing a ticket in advance, but not a few months before the trip. This way you can monitor prices and choose the best option.

And one more important caveat, buy tickets only on the official websites of companies or from trusted aggregators such as Aviasales.

Obtaining a visa and traveling abroad
The best option today is to travel around Russia, for example, you can build a large route for a family trip or organize a vacation for mental relaxation.

And if you are still planning a trip abroad, plan a tour taking into account some nuances:

Purchase return tickets. It is better to overpay a little, but in case of flight cancellation, get the money back;
find out the rules of entry to the country you want to go to. Look for the most relevant information;
specify the data on the need for a vaccination certificate;
Please note that some countries can only be entered with a Schengen visa, while other tourist visas are currently closed.
To obtain a visa, prepare all the documents on the list for applying to the visa application center. It is better if you take an extra certificate than if it is not in your hands at the right time.

Start planning your trip in advance, study all the information and then you will definitely not miss anything!
