We can't know the one thing we all want to know about travel in 2021: When can we confidently start traveling again safely? As we've seen lately, uncertainty continues with developments like the new variant of Covid-19 and slower vaccine distribution. But there's a lot we can know about travel in the new year. Here are some predictions:
 
1. Get ready for prices to zigzag
2. Health records a standard part of flying
3. The frequent-flier free-for-all
4. The mask mandate arrives
5. Recovery starts closer to home
