What tourists searched for most often on Google in 2025: top 10 questions and answers

Travel in 2025 required tourists to be particularly vigilant. Rules for crossing borders, flying, and insurance changed frequently, so even experienced travelers turned to Google before their trips to check key details. The Sun portal published a selection of the ten most popular travel search queries in 2025, along with explanations. Here's what travelers were most concerned about.


How much liquid can you take on a plane


This question topped the ranking with over 8,000 queries per month. The reason is different rules at airports. Some hubs have already abandoned the 100 ml limit. For example, London Gatwick Airport allows liquids up to 2 liters, while Heathrow continues to adhere to the classic restrictions. Due to this difference, passengers are advised to check the rules of a particular airport and, if in doubt, adhere to the standard of 100 ml in a transparent bag.


Can you fly while pregnant


The second most popular question concerns air travel for pregnant women. Most airlines allow flights up to 36-37 weeks of pregnancy. If a woman is pregnant with twins, restrictions may begin as early as 32 weeks. In the absence of medical contraindications, flying is permitted, but airlines recommend that you consult your doctor before booking your trip.


What is the required passport validity period for travel?


The third popular query is related to documents. Requirements depend on the destination country. For most European countries, a passport must be valid for at least three months after the return date. For destinations such as Egypt, Thailand, or Indonesia, it must be valid for at least six months. At the same time, in some countries, such as Barbados, a valid passport is sufficient without any additional requirements. Tourists are advised to check the rules in advance before booking a trip.


How much does travel insurance cost


The price of travel insurance has become another frequent query. The cost of the policy depends on the duration of the trip, the country, the age of the traveler, the presence of chronic diseases, and the planned activities. Short trips to safe countries are usually cheaper, while trips to risky regions or extreme sports significantly increase the price.


That is why experts advise taking out medical insurance for traveling abroad in advance and taking into account the itinerary. It is convenient that Ukrainians can choose a suitable insurance policy online through Visit Ukraine — this allows you to quickly obtain coverage that will meet the conditions of a specific trip.

When is the best time to book airline tickets


There is no definite answer to this question, which explains its popularity. For some destinations, winter sales may be advantageous, while for others, booking 6–12 weeks before departure may be better.

Prices are influenced by seasonality, school holidays, and demand. Therefore, travelers are advised to use price tracking services to catch ticket price reductions in time.


Where to go in February


February has become a popular month for vacations due to the off-season and relatively affordable prices. Tourists often sought warm destinations without long flights — the Spanish islands, Morocco, or Cape Verde. February is also considered one of the best times to travel to Thailand and Vietnam, where the weather is comfortable at this time of year.


What travel insurance covers


Another important question is about the contents of the insurance policy. Basic options usually cover medical expenses, lost luggage, and unforeseen situations such as flight or trip cancellations. More expensive packages may include extreme or winter sports, which is especially relevant for active travelers.


How to pack a suitcase


The desire to avoid paying for baggage has prompted tourists to seek packing advice. The most popular life hacks are to roll your clothes, use travel organizers, fill your shoes with small items, and wear your bulkiest items on the plane.


Will airfare prices drop?


The demand for lower prices turned out to be less optimistic. Analysts indicate that a significant drop in airfare prices is not expected in 2026 due to increases in airport fees, taxes, and fuel costs.


Where to get vaccinated for travel


The ranking concludes with the issue of vaccination. Tourists are advised to contact local clinics or private medical centers. The latter are usually more expensive but can offer faster service and a wider range of vaccines.


We remind you! Every year, travel trends change, but not all of them actually make travel better. Some popular ideas from social media look impressive, but in practice can turn into stress, financial losses, or even danger. Read about the 2025 travel trends that should be approached with caution.
