La Réunion Sud Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll no doubt notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to La Réunion Sud a smooth one:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.

From the boarding area to the plane cabin, airlines throughout the world are implementing measures such as social distancing to help in the fight against COVID-19. Two terrific examples are:

• Air Mauritius - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Air Austral - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
