Palava Protected Landscape Area Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't done away with our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are some tips on how to navigate the new challenges of travelling:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

From the boarding lounge to your designated seat, airlines around the world are following measures such as social distancing to lessen the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Some of these carriers are:

• SmartWings - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
