What are some of the general tips for travellers to Transylvania during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has ushered in huge changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Transylvania, these tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"
  • Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
