Îles d'Hyères Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice new restrictions and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Îles d'Hyères a smooth one:

• Find out the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
