I love to travel. I know many long-haulers and COVID-cautious people out there also love to travel, but they are unsure if they can without risking infection. They don’t know where to start. Some have stopped traveling completely. However, depending on their risk tolerance, they may not need to. Below is a list of COVID precautions I take when traveling, separated by transportation method.

Here is a list of the hidden costs of travel for those with mobility or chronic illness needs. I have also included a few budgeting tips.

I am focusing on vacation destinations in the mainland USA that are wheelchair-accessible and/or chronic-illness-friendly. I am posting about one East Coast city, one West Coast city, one Mid-West city, and a national park and beach destination. Of course, there are many, many others.

Water is wet, the sky is blue, and the best way to prevent COVID-19 on an airplane is to wear a fit-tested N95. After all, airborne transmission accounts for 92.2% of cases. But are there any other mitigations you could take? How far does COVID spread on airplanes, anyway? Where are you most at risk? Does where you sit on a plane matter?
