Enriquillo Valley Holidays from NZ$2,505

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19  you'll notice a range of new rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Enriquillo Valley go off without a hitch:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

Physical distancing is only one small part of new air travel strategies to reduce the spread of COVID-19. From your first steps on board, these carriers will bring you to Enriquillo Valley with greater peace of mind:
