Cova da Beira Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in big changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Cova da Beira, these tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
