AAA travel advisors say they’ve noticed an eagerness to travel again, with many people willing to book early. Some people are booking 18 months to 2 years in advance. Travelers are looking to make up for lost time after nearly 3 years of restrictions. 73 percent of travel advisors also reported that many travelers that they are seeing are showing strong interest in all-inclusive resorts, a popular experience for many romantic getaways.

In addition to the most popular destinations couples are booking this Valentine’s Day, a new AAA survey finds 52 percent of U.S. adults are just as likely or more likely to consider taking a cruise vacation than they were before the pandemic. That number is up from 45 percent one year ago.

For those couples planning a romantic getaway, AAA Texas has the following tips:

  • Book Travel Protection Plans to ensure you’re covered for unexpected occurrences.
  • Book activities or shore excursions early, since they are likely to sell out.
  • When traveling internationally, passports must be valid for at least six months prior to your return. AAA Travel can help you rush your passport as well as take your photo.
  • Always carry a change of clothes, your medications, your itinerary and any other must-have items in your carry-on luggage.
  • Look into arriving a day earlier than the formal start of your tour or cruise and/or staying a day later by booking a hotel room so that you are not too rushed or tired to enjoy your vacation.
  • Arrive at the airport early. Recommended time for domestic is 2+ hours and international is 3+ hours.
  • Consult with your travel advisor for other vitally important information specific to your destination.
