On Friday, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health hugged each other and said that Daily life should return to normal. For many, it also means regular vacations again.
After the announced reopening, Finn.no saw 45 percent growth in flights compared to Friday a week ago. The growth is a whopping 400 percent since the same time last year.
from The most popular holiday destinations are the sunny and beachy places of Southern Europe, but on October 1 it will also be open for travel to many countries outside the Schengen area.
This doesn’t mean it’s just a reservation on the way to the whole world, insurance companies warned.
You may lose the option to cancel
With many companies, for example, you do not have a valid cancellation insurance if you book your travel to a country that you are not advised to travel to at the time of booking. This applies even if it is later opened for travel to that country. (See the facts at the end of the article).
Turkey ranks high on the list of countries where people usually book holidays. It is one of the countries where the insurance company now gets many questions. They recommend backing off a bit.
Wait until October 1 to book and pay for the flight. Not all countries may be open. Put some ice in your stomach now, and it’s ready to go when you see which countries and regions open up, says Andreas Handland, director of communications at If.

continuing restrictions
The Department of Foreign Affairs has a General Travel Council that advises against strictly non-essential travel to all countries outside the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, as well as some countries and regions outside of Europe.
This will not be extended beyond October 1.
However, some countries may still be discouraged from traveling to.
Foreign Minister In Eriksen Soered said on Friday that the pandemic and the health situation would be part of the assessment along with security in the country.
It recommends that people download the new State Department’s Travel Ready app, which provides access to travel advice, travel information and travel logging in one place.
Even if the State Department scraps travel advice for many countries, it’s not certain that everything is free anyway.

Remember to check the entry rules in the country you’re going to, so you avoid ruining your vacation due to denial of entry or other restrictions, warns Andreas Handeland in If.
If you order before October 1, you’re taking a chance.
For example, the USA is currently closed to Norwegians. They are expected to open for full vaccination in November.
Australia and New Zealand are closed for all business purposes.
Thailand has a 14-day quarantine for everyone even if they are fully vaccinated.
One should look for applicable local restrictions, says Ole Irgens, Tryg Communications Manager.
Travel insurance does not cover the costs you incur, for example, if you are rejected at the border or placed in a quarantine hotel.
Insurance companies think this is part of what you need to know before you travel.
It is not easy to travel even after October 1st. Make sure you have tickets that can be canceled or rebooked and that you don’t prepay for a hotel or rental car, Irgens recommends.
