In this episode, we have 5 valuable tips for when your trip gets canceled! No need to start freaking out, simply follow our tips for the best outcome. 

Find out what our tips for when your trip gets canceled are:

Tip #1 – Train ticket refunds

Many train companies are offering to change or refund customer tickets free of charge (Check with your train company). Including, customers who have a sudden change of heart and don’t want to travel right now, you can turn your tickets into travel vouchers which can be used for any future trip

Tip #2 – Airfare refunds

If you have to cancel a flight due to the country’s borders being closed, we recommend getting in touch with the airline directly using their hotline numbers. In addition, don’t forget to check if your flight is scheduled to depart as a lot of airlines have announced cancellations to multiple destinations. Many airlines have also already created coronavirus specific websites, answering common questions in case of confusion. 

Tip #3 – Contacting your embassy

If you are worried about not being able to return to your home country due to borders closing. We recommend contacting the national embassy of your country. These numbers can be found on their homepage. Remember, being a citizen means the country’s main priority is to protect you. The last thing they will do is just leave you stranded somewhere. 

Here’s a tip simply search on Google for > *your home country* embassy in *current location country* < and call the number that is provided. 

Tip #4 – Facebook Groups

If you have any open questions, looking for some general information, need some tips for traveling, or just want to get in touch with people that may be in similar situations, check out Facebook groups that exist for the country that you find yourself in or were planning on traveling to. Simply search for the country in the “Groups” section of Facebook. 

Tip #5 – Be informed

The most important tip for traveling during corona is to continuously check the current situation regarding coronavirus in the specific country. Each country is currently dealing with the spread differently and things change quickly. Search online and make sure to keep yourself updated right up until your departure and while you are on your trip.
