Costalegre Holidays

With new COVID-19 rules and measures to adhere to, travel looks a lot different at present. Here are a few things to know before you head off to Costalegre:

• Before booking your flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
