Where are travel restrictions lifted?
1. Aruba
This Caribbean destination offers world-renowned, gorgeous beaches and plenty of places to explore, making it a perfect choice if you’ve been craving a vacation full of sand, sea, and adventure. Start your island holiday off right with an airport transfer before enjoying a flight to the place aptly nicknamed “One Happy Island”.
Experience stunning sunsets, white sands, and vibrant Dutch influence when you arrive at this colorful destination. Tour the bustling capital, Oranjestad, plan an off-roading safari exploration, or just relax in the shade of one of the many resorts Aruba has to offer.
As of June 2022, Aruba currently does not require negative test results or proof of vaccination from arriving passengers. Certain health protocols still apply.
2. Greece
Revel in the magnificence that is Greece, a country rich in history and culture with stunning sights dripping in character and charm. Whether you want to dive into the ancient landmarks of Athens or look out upon the iconic hilltops of Santorini, a trip to Greece is sure to make you feel alive with all its many islands have to offer.
Feel like the main character as you explore the archaic relics of the Acropolis, the temples of Delphi, and the ruins of Mycenae, or take a day (or four!) to bask in the crystal clear, cerulean seas of the Cretan beaches. Per the latest protocols for arrivals (March 2022), passengers to Greece no longer need to display a certificate of vaccination or a negative test result for entry. Certain health protocols, such as the Passenger Locator Form (PLF), remain for optional use in specific circumstances.
3. Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a tropical haven fit for those looking to experience a variety of exotic plants, animals, and marine life, and it’s just a 6-hour direct flight from Los Angeles International Airport. Adventurous travelers can engage in water sports and zipline through the rainforest, while curious tourists can explore Arenal Volcano National Park and enjoy music, food, and art sightseeing in San Jose.
From the lush nature, biodiversity, and waterfalls of the Caribbean coast to the surf-heavy, serene beaches of the Pacific coast, a getaway to Costa Rica offers a never-ending supply of excitement. Travelers to Costa Rica are welcome from any nation and are no longer required to present proof of vaccination or a negative test prior to arrival, as of April 2022.
4. Ireland
If you’re itching to see picturesque landscapes, explore the history of timeless castles, or grab a Guinness in a lively pub, the Emerald Isle might be the ideal destination for you. Leaving from Boston Logan International Airport, Ireland is a short 6.5-hour flight away from experiencing the magic that awaits along the Celtic countryside of the Causeway Coast.
Immerse yourself in the Irish culture and Gaelic heritage with tours through Dublin and the Aran Islands. Perhaps you’ll take time to visit the National Botanical Gardens or roam across the windy cliffs and evergreen hills (which National Geographic voted the best in the world to hike!). Ireland, as of March 2022, no longer requires international travelers to show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test.
Now that travel restrictions are being lifted, it’s time to make that exciting international excursion happen. No more excuses. And while you’re at it, don’t forget the trip back home. Book pickup and drop off services to guarantee convenience and peace of mind, a must-have on the last leg of any exhilarating getaway.
