Ven Trip

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Take note of these valuable tips before jumping on your plane to Ven:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

Social distancing is only one small part of new aviation measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19. From check-in to arrival, these carriers will carry you to your destination with greater peace of mind:
