Pandemic•ation is simply a vacation during a pandemic.
Maybe it’s the rebellious nature of being told we should stay locked in or the temptation of seeing others enjoying their pandemications.
But if you’re comfortable enough , I highly suggest a getaway to reset , refocus , and realign.
Research
The requirements of every state or country change several times. Whether there are no requirements or required test before you go , you want to stay updated. Check HERE for updates.
Also check the CDC website HERE !
Testing
Even if it’s not required , still get tested. Check your local areas for free testing. The test is quick and painless. You can get results in 24 hours or more. Get tested before and/or after your pandemication.
Planning
Most airlines are keeping the middle seat empty, boarding from the back of the plane , offering disinfecting wipes and more . Choose the one that best suits your needs.
Check HERE for the latest airline news.
Based on your preference , choose a hotel or Airbnb with the qualifications you’re looking for . Don’t be afraid to ask questions .
Packing
Remember to pack the following ….
– Masks
– Gloves
– Disinfecting Wipes
– Disinfecting Spray
– Hand Sanitizer
– Medicine
– Tissues
You can make your own kit or buy one HERE .

Precautions
1. Masks
Wear your masks ! Masks lower the risk of transmission between you and another person.
2. Wash Hands / Hand Sanitizer
Did you know hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs ?
If soap and water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
3. Disinfecting Wipes / Sprays
Make sure to wipe down / spray surfaces . You can never be too safe .
4. Social Distance
Try and maintain a safe distance from a large group of people.
5. Questionnaires / Searches
You might be asked to take mandatory questionnaires or randomly searched .
Changes
There will be some changes regarding tourist attractions, buffets , certain excursions and more . Just be aware and get information before you go .
Travel Shaming
Be prepared for people “travel shaming” you. Wear a FLY ABOVE HATER hoodie and send them your pictures of your pandemication.

Great tips we can all put to use! The Pandemic Bingo made me lol. I’ve seen more people using airplane seat covers – I’m going to have to check them out! Definitely a great idea packing your own little kit of necessities!
Yes I’ve seen some people use them and also suitcase covers . Thank you for reading .
Brilliant and practical tips. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for reading .
Such great tips! I haven’t been on a trip yet since march but I may be planning one in 2021! 🙂
I couldn’t stay still for too long . Try to go somewhere close to home.
Great blog post. Very informative. I am on vacay during Covid-19 and it’s the best time to travel.
It really is , less people , cheaper flights , and cleaner environments.
These are excellent tips. I agree about keeping hand sanitiser and gel at all times. I also brought an extra mask in case we had to stay longer in the airport.
These items are small and can fit easily in your personal or carry on bag . Thank you for being safe .
Really amazing tips! Definitely worth getting things like this, didnt even know about airplane seat cover.
Yes the airplane seat cover is new to me , there’s also suitcase covers .
Very good tips for persons whose gonna trave in these days.. Great
Thank you for reading , hope these tips help you .
These are some great tips about traveling during a Pandemic. Especially the packing tips like bringing an airplane seat cover. Oh yeah love the hoodie.
Thank you for reading , I love my hoodie too .
Love this! I just came from Cancun a week ago. As long as you’re safe, I say see the world!
Cancún was very safe and clean , I have to go back .
I was just talking with someone about travel shaming! The worst! Travel safe – and often! 😉
No travel shaming over here , I rather travel now than later .
Hahaha! I LOVE this! I know it’s a lot for everyone, but sometimes some kind of normalcy is needed. And a nice little vaycay is just what I need girl!
Yes , we all need one.
This pandemic has definitely changed the lives of many. We need some excitement after all this
Yes , we all need a celebration after all of the this .
These are great tips!! No pandemi-cation shaming over here, I’m ready to go somewhere!
I had three pandemic•ations and I’m planning more , no shaming over here either .
Love the pandemication bingo! These are some good tips.
Yes it’s a fun quick game , thank you 😊
Slaying AND staying safe!! Loving your airport look!
Thank you , it’s why I started Smoovee Travel.
Nice, cute outfits 🥰
Thank you , swimsuits are from Shein and my hoodie is from my travel apparel line .
Thank you for sharing! It’s so important for people to be careful and considerate during these times. I was working as a flight attendant until 2 months ago and it was upsetting how many people didn’t want to wear a mask.
I actually saw someone almost get arrested for refusing to wear a mask . It’s the most simple form of respect during these times.
These are great tips! I probably won’t be travelling anytime soon, but I think your tips are very helpful for someone who is and who wants to be as safe as possible!
Thank you , I hope someone can use these tips for future travel.
Good advice. I just got back from Dubai where 100% of the people wore masks because there’s a $750 fine. During the international flights I had a whole row to myself but flying domestic on American the flights were packed including the middle seat. Take precautions.
I think the mask fine should be enforced because some people are refusing. I also was lucky to get a whole row to myself.
I love this post. Great tips especially the constantly checking your destination’s requirements. I love how you map out how to have a safe vacation while being considerate of others.
Thank you so much for reading , hopefully it helped.
Thanks for useful tips. The number 5 tip really needed: “Bring extra money just in case you’re asked to do a mandatory test “
Yes , I know some tests cost $75 and up . But you can avoid this by just looking up the requirements.
We aren’t traveling just yet, but we certainly are yearning to. I didn’t know that airplane seat covers were a thing! Thanks for the great tip!
Thank you , maybe try a small getaway close to home.
