Though a lot has changed in the last year one thing remains the same: Expedia’s commitment to you.<\/p>\n

We know your first trip back will be special-in fact, our latest research findings suggest 85% of Brits now value vacations more than ever before-and we want to be there to help make the planning process as simple as it gets. Here are seven tips to help you navigate your next trip with confidence.<\/p>\n

#### 1. Know before you go<\/p>\n

Check restrictions including testing requirements, stay-at-home orders, and quarantine requirements for both local and national destinations before you go. Expedia’s COVID-19 Trip Advisor<\/a> and Travel Smart Checklist<\/a> are great resources to check when planning your trip.<\/p>\n

#### 2. Sleep soundly<\/p>\n

Review safety measures on Expedia.co.uk<\/a> by using the “Enhanced cleaning” filter to narrow search results including improved cleaning, contactless check-in, social distancing, and more. Check out the Expedia COVID-19 Travel Guide<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

#### 3. Stay flexible<\/p>\n

Choose flexibility by filtering for “free cancellation”<\/a> or “reserve now, pay later” and making sure to select a refundable room type. This way, if your plans change so can your trip.<\/p>\n

#### 4. Connect on the go<\/p>\n

Download the Expedia app<\/a> and keep all your booking details in your pocket with the all-in-one travel companion<\/a>. (By the way, you could even find some mobile-exclusive deals there, too!)<\/p>\n

#### 5. Be covered<\/p>\n

Review any insurance coverage and be aware of what’s covered in your travel insurance, so you’re prepared.<\/p>\n

#### 6. Plan according<\/p>\n

Confirm attractions are open before heading out to visit. Make sure the activities you want to do<\/a> are open and plan for any restrictions, and have a Plan B ready just in case.<\/p>\n

7. Don’t forget your mask<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pack personal protective equipment. Carry masks, disinfecting wipes and hand sanitiser with you so you can protect yourself and those around you.<\/p>\n

###### Note: All travel is subject to frequently changing governmental restrictions-please check government advisories before scheduling trips.<\/p>\n
