Beira Interior Norte Trip

With new COVID-19 safety measures in place, travel looks a bit different in this day and age. Here are a few things to know before you get on that plane to Beira Interior Norte:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

Physical distancing is just one element of new travel strategies to help combat COVID-19. From the moment you collect your tickets, these airlines will take you to your destination with comfort and confidence:
