Beautiful part of Sardinia; the public beaches around are gorgeous and pristine; the staff at Aethos are really excellent; the restaurant is good. Sophisticated, great for couples and yet also child friendly without being overrun by children.

  • You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place 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 bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • 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 employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
