Rhodope Mountains Trip

COVID-19 has transformed how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your trip to Rhodopes Mountains:

• Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Empty everything from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
