Whether you are looking to treat your family after lockdown or are ready to scratch that travel itch after spending close to two years at home, there are plenty of reasons why you might be thinking about planning a vacation in 2022. However, given that travel has been out of the question for a little while, you may have long-forgotten your trusty travel hacks!
But that’s where this guide comes in!
With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know to plan the perfect vacation in 2022!
- Choose your destination first. The first step towards planning the perfect vacation is deciding where you’d like to go. If you don’t already have a destination in mind – don’t worry – the options are quite literally endless. Usually, it’s best to cater your choice of destination to who you are traveling with. This way, you’ll be able to narrow down the choices between family-friendly destinations and places that are better suited for solo travelers.

- Find the right accommodation. Once you’ve decided where you want to go – it’s time to find somewhere to sleep. Thankfully, there are plenty of options here, too – whether you fancy getting up close and personal with nature by camping or want to enjoy a spot of luxury by staying in hotels with private pools in-room. Either way, ensure you do plenty of research before booking so that you know you are getting the best deal.
- Book as far in advance as possible. If you’re looking to travel on a budget, it’s often beneficial to book as far in advance as possible. This is because many travel companies, hotels, and airlines offer significant discounts for advanced bookings. It also gives you a chance to save up a bit of extra cash.
- Put together a loose itinerary. You’re probably used to following some kind of schedule in your daily life – which means you’re probably desperate to leave it behind while you’re on vacation. However, while you can probably skip the 7am alarm, putting together an itinerary is an excellent way to ensure you make the most of the trip. This way, you can ensure that you keep your kids entertained and get to see all of the important sites at your chosen destination. In these cases, poor planning can only lead to disappointment – especially if you turn up without tickets to a venue that requires pre-booking.
- Remember that traveling will feel a little different. Each country has different rules and regulations to keep travelers safe during the pandemic. For example, you may be required to isolate, take tests or wear masks ahead of travel. As a result, you should ensure that you factor these changes into your plan. For example, while you may already know everything there is to know about surviving a long-haul flight, you may have to turn up at the airport earlier than ever to account for additional tests and protocols.
