Costa del Turchese Holidays

With new rules, restrictions and safety measures to adhere to, travel looks a little different right now. These are some helpful things to know before you pack your suitcase for Costa del Turchese:

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
