Calanca Valley Trip

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Have a read over these worthwhile tips before jumping on your flight to Calanca Valley:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
