Northern Piedmont Alps Holidays

With new safety guidelines in place, travel looks a little different at present. Here are some useful things to know before you pack your suitcase for Northern Piedmont Alps:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, 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 taken out for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
