Franciacorta Wine Area Holidays

With new restrictions and safety precautions to adhere to, travel looks a lot different in this day and age. Here's what you should know before you get on that plane to Franciacorta Wine Area:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• 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 have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
