Filothei Holidays

With new rules, restrictions and safety measures in effect, travel looks a bit different today. Here are a few things to know before you fly off to Filothei:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.

Physical distancing is just one element of new air travel measures to ease the spread of COVID-19. From the moment you collect your tickets, these carriers will whisk you away to your destination with comfort and confidence:
