The airlines are going to reduce their inventory for awhile. If you’re hoping to travel this summer book a flight, but understand there are fewer flights available -- but more options to get your money back.
Many of the vendors are already putting in place that you’ll be able to cancel and get your deposit back 48 hours or 24 hours before you even leave.
They’re going to give you complete flexibility so you feel comfortable booking just in case something happens and you feel that it’s not proper to travel.
Still, no matter when you plan to travel make sure you buy insurance, and make sure it’s the right policy. People should always take travel insurance right now to make sure they won’t be disappointed.
