Costa Rei's Beaches Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered significant changes to how we travel. If you're planning an escape to Costa Rei's Beaches, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• 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 pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, put 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 closer inspection.
