Blenio Valley Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice plenty of new rules and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your journey to Blenio Valley a smooth one:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
