Back in the summer, I created a resource here on Prince of Travel to keep track of the relief measures and promotions that banks and loyalty programs were offering in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the months since then, it’s become apparent that there’s an even larger and ever-growing body of information on which Canadian travellers must stay well-informed as the global outlook for travel begins its recovery.
That’s why I’ve adapted the existing page into a brand-new resource for Travel During COVID-19, in which we’ll present the following information at-a-glance:
- Countries that have reopened to Canadians without quarantine
- COVID-19 testing availability for international travellers, by province
- Quarantine policies, by province
- Major loyalty programs’ flexible policies and measures
- Major airlines serving Canada and their flexible policies, special COVID-19 measures, and onboard service
The resource can be found at wp.princeoftravel.com/coronavirus, and I encourage you to bookmark it and check back often.
With countries around the world reopening their borders one-by-one, testing and quarantine rules changing rapidly at home, and airlines and loyalty programs continuing to extend their goodwill measures, we’ll do our best to keep this resource updated on a regular basis as we head into 2021 and begin travelling in earnest.
I hope you’ll find the Travel During COVID-19 page to be a helpful resource, and feel free to let me know in the comments below if I’ve missed anything that you feel should be included.
Hi Ricky, Alaska has extended its flexible change and cancellation policy for all tickets booked before March 31, 2021 for travel by February 28, 2022.

Thanks Alice!
Hi Ricky, I think Alaska Miles updated the policy that tickets purchased between February 27, 2020 – May 31, 2020 and Original Travel Dates February 27, 2020 – April 30, 2021 can have free cancel or change. I believe it applies to reward tickets as well. Please check below

Accor (Fairmont) has also extended expiry on points. Got an email just this past week.
Thank you, Ricky. This will be very helpful.
