Flamengo/Praias: Ribeira e Sete Fortes Holidays

COVID-19 has changed the world in all sorts of ways, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your trip to Flamengo/Praias: Ribeira e Sete Fortes:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
