Veterans Advantage Reviews Travel Benefits During COVID-19

Scott Higgins

As some states are slowly trying to begin reopening from coronavirus closures, the Veterans Advantage team is continuing to work hard to keep the health and wellbeing of our members a top priority. We hope you are doing ok as we make our way through this terrible pandemic.

Now that some state restrictions are lifting, it might be time to consider what traveling will look like in our “new normal.” Even if you’re not ready to travel right away, airlines, hotels & resorts, and car rental providers are starting to adapt to a new travel environment. We are beginning to hear from our travel partners about the new ways to travel while social distancing to keep you and your loved ones safe, and to protect your wallet with more flexible rebooking rules.

We learned this week that all airlines will begin to require face coverings or face masks and several airlines are limiting passenger capacity. There will be airline boarding from back to front to further limit contact, and, of course, taking extra precautions with cleaning. Flexible booking and rebooking options plus extended time for loyalty point programs are a start to feeling comfortable again about booking future travel.

When you are ready to access your exclusive travel discounts again with VetRewards, we want to help you get started with 50% OFF VetRewards with our COVID-19 sale.

To help you plan for a vacation, future family holiday, or business travel, we’ve rounded up the links below for our exclusive travel partners for discounts on flights, car rentals, hotel & resorts, and bus. Our suggestion is to first check out our travel partner’s cancellation policies. So many now offer incredibly flexible policies with no penalty for any changes. For most airlines, it‘s now easy to cancel, make changes or rebook online.

If you’re still quarantined and have the time to plan, first carefully select the travel provider with the most flexible cancellation or change policy. Then, simply lock in the best travel deals by combining your exclusive travel discounts with the current historically low fares and reservation rates you can grab today for your future travel.

 holiday travel guide 2025 Discounts & Benefits WeSalute Review: Your 2025 Holiday Travel Guide on How to Save More and Stress Less on Your Getaway The holiday season is officially in full swing. While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.

This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
