TEXT: MELODY TAN IMAGES: SHUTTERSTOCK It\u2019s time to dust off the passport, wheel out your suitcase and look for your winter jacket: overseas travel is back after two years of strict border controls, no thanks to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Air passenger traffic was up 18 per cent in April compared to a month ago, and Singapore expects it to be restored to 50 per cent of pre-COVID passenger volume by the end of 2022. In the meantime, cross-border bus and taxi services between Singapore and Johor Bahru resumed in the beginning of May, after the land border was reopened for fully vaccinated travellers in April. Travelling in the age of COVID-19 can be intimidating and confusing, but if you take some simple precautions, you can have a relaxing, stress-free vacation overseas. Read on to find out what they are. RENEW YOUR PASSPORTS EARLY Revenge travel \u2013 a term for pent-up travel demand after the restrictions caused by COVID-19 \u2013 is very real. Demand is so great that the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority\u00a0 announced that Singaporeans who are renewing or applying for their passports will have to wait at least six weeks \u2013 a two-week increase from April\u2019s four week-long processing time. If you\u2019re planning to head overseas soon, make sure to check that everyone\u2019s passports have at least six months until expiry. Otherwise, you might find that your trip is over before it\u2019s even begun. BUDGET AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY With rising oil prices and the challenges faced by the airline industry during the pandemic, it\u2019s no surprise that growing demand for plane tickets has been met with higher prices. If you\u2019re planning a trip, it\u2019s best to start early and keep an eye out for promotional deals, non-peak flight dates and alternative airlines. To save money, you might need to be a little bit more flexible with your dream itinerary \u2013 for example, by flying with a budget airline or even choosing a different destination. You could also consider visiting places that can be reached by land or sea. Instead of heading to Bali, consider spending a long weekend at a Bintan villa in Indonesia. If you\u2019re trying to beat the heat, consider driving to Genting or Cameron Highlands in Malaysia. BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH COVID-19 COVERAGE What happens if you catch COVID-19 during your vacation? Or worse, just before your flight is due to depart Singapore? While travel insurance has been a standard purchase for many vacationing Singaporeans, it\u2019s now more important than ever. Look for a travel insurance policy that covers COVID-19-related expenses, such as clinic fees and hospitalisation overseas, as well as flight cancellations, delays and extra accommodation costs if you are quarantined or unable to board your flight. It might cost you a bit more than a standard travel insurance, but it&#8217;s worth the peace of mind. PACK YOUR OWN SUPPLIES Even if the country you\u2019re travelling to has lifted their mask mandate, you should still bring along your masks just in case. After all, while planes have air exchange systems that can filter the COVID-19 virus, other forms of transportation, such as trains and buses, do not. You might want to wear your mask while on the airport shuttle to your hotel, or in crowded places. In addition, bring along a few Antigen Rapid Test (ART) kits and a thermometer.
