Arabako Ibarrak Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Arabako Ibarrak a smooth one:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce 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 lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
