Altos de Chavon Village Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in substantial changes to how we travel. If you're planning a trip to Altos de Chavon Village, these tips will help you navigate these new travelling challenges:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
