Checks And Balances: Can Pre-Trip Approval Boost Travelers’ Confidence?

There are many things we couldn't have imagined doing a year ago - wearing a surgeon's mask to buy groceries, working solely from home, and embracing tasks we once loathed. Along with filing taxes and tackling the kitchen junk drawer, getting approval for a trip used to be a tedious but necessary part of life. The pandemic has changed that. Some people are more reluctant to fly due to fear of contracting the virus and even where travel is permitted, are looking for reassurance that they're making the right decisions. The pre-trip approval process has morphed from last year's tedium to this year's source of comfort for business travelers.

Going the Distance: 3 tips for essential travel

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, coined the term 'Reiseangst' (from the German, 'fear of travel'). While we've seen a raft of new phrases in the last six months, this one's ripe for a revival. Even the most seasoned travelers find themselves weighed down with concerns that didn't exist previously. It's not surprising. Restrictions on international travel are slowly easing but they remain fluid. Quarantine requirements could change last-minute, there are fewer available routes and the travel experience is a far cry from what it was pre-pandemic. Back then, language barriers, cultural faux-pas, and minor transport delays were our biggest concerns.
