Garfagnana Holidays

With the continuation of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Take a look at these handy tips before jumping on your plane to Garfagnana:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you want to take food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
