DENVER (CBS4) – Travel restrictions for Colorado residents will require more planning and flexibility heading into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, experts at AAA warn for those leaving the state by plane or car. COVID-19 cases in October have pushed more states to require quarantining when entering from a hotspot of the coronavirus.

“Americans are still traveling, some are traveling internationally,” said Skyler McKinley, the director of public relations and government affairs for AAA Colorado. “What’s different is that if you booked a vacation this time last year, you could be reasonably certain that your vacation would go exactly as you planned it to, this year, especially this time of year, flexibility is the name of the game.”

TSA saw one million passengers last week and summer travel on the roads was down two percent, according to McKinley. He says the public is still enjoying the chance to get out of the house and visit different destinations but they must consider the new protocol for travel. Airlines, rest stops, hotels, and local governments will each have their own regulations to follow. A travel adviser can help track those requirements for you, but most people will need to prepare on their own. In some cases, getting tested or quarantining will keep you from carrying out your intended plans.
