Many airlines They have returned and others have not, but we must take into account that not everyone can travel in the flights currently available.

This post is a small wake-up call to all those who want to travel for one reason or another., It is important to know that there is an endless number of requirements, restrictions and entry bans to many countries in the world.

This post was inspired by the case of a reader who had bought a ticket to fly from Ecuador toward Spain, but his nationality finally did not allow him to travel and he was denied by the airline to check in and therefore, to travel.

As we know, We are going to complete a year of irregular flights within the pandemic and despite the fact that many flights have normalized, others have not returned and still others new routes are being created, but you have to be very careful when buying the ticket, read the current terms and conditions.

Airlines are selling their available destinations, but with very clear warnings, You have to meet certain requirements to be able to travel and not only for health reasons. negative tests, but also because of the immigration issue.

Returning to the reader example we reviewed above, he bought a ticket to Europe and he did it without problems, Confident that he would travel, he arrived at the airport on the day of his trip and when he showed his documents, the airline told him that he could not do it and the reason was very clear., Ecuadorians (and many other nationalities) They cannot yet enter Spain or the European Union no matter how many valid visas they have., except in some specific cases.

Of course, The inconvenience for the user was immense and the loss of money in hotels and other different contracted services will be difficult to recover., although the passage could be rescheduled or left open without problems, This situation alerts us that we must travel and there is how to do it, but we must be careful.

The care lies in carefully reviewing the available flights and if you want to fly to that destination you can do so for immigration reasons., As we saw, Latin Americans cannot enter Europe., Another example is that we cannot go to Japan, Argentina still does not allow the entry of foreigners and there are endless examples.

Airlines have no restrictions on selling, but they always indicate that you should know the restrictions that apply, Therefore, the final responsibility is on the user to know their immigration status and whether they will be able to travel or not., For this point I leave you some recommendations:

• Check before buying if your nationality can enter your destination country.
• Check what type of health requirements you need:
  • Negative test.
  • health insurance.
  • Quarantine.
• If you are not sure, Come or contact the Consulate of the country you want to travel to to clarify any questions you may have..
• Some countries only allow the entry of their nationals or in specific cases such as medical or study issues..
• If you are not sure, Avoid buying the ticket no matter how cheap it is and wait until you have all the necessary and official information.
