WSJ Your Money Briefing · Traveling to Europe This Summer? A Maze of Rules Awaits You. · 30 Jun 2021 podcast

So really, this Delta variant is an unknown at the moment.

And, you know, it has the potential to kind of derail some of the progress that, you know, the industry and governments have made in kind of freeing up travel again.

I think this is something that speaks to the confidence of being able to book.

And it's an issue that the aviation industry has spoken at length about, which is

you know, if regulations keep changing here and there, you know, customers, passengers don't have the confidence that, you know, if they pay for, you know, summer vacation, that they'll actually be able to go on it.

So I guess the advice is, you know, I guess check vaccination rates, check, you know, variants, you know, the potential variants of the place that you're trying to go to.

And also, of course, the COVID rates, you know, but this is, I mean, it really speaks to kind of the fundamental question, which is,

You know, how do we recreate and recover, you know, international travel if passengers can't have certainty that when they buy a ticket, they're actually going to be allowed to go?

And that's why the industry has been calling for, you know, a much more harmonized kind of uniform approach to how we approach different regulations, quarantine periods, border restrictions and things like that.
