The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in ways big and small, including how we're able to safely travel. The following tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your holiday in Oud-Beijerland:

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

To minimize contact between passengers and flight crew for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, most reputable airlines have taken physical distancing and other protective measures to the skies. A great example of these are:

• Transavia - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• TUI fly Netherlands - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Pegasus Airlines - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
