Central Sonora Holidays

With new COVID-19 rules and measures to follow, travel looks a bit different nowadays. Here are a few things to know before you pack your suitcase for Central Sonora:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
