If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice plenty of new rules and regulations in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Italian Lakes a smooth one:
  • Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, 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 at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you're taking food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
