Salzburg Lakes Area Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Salzburg Lakes, these tips will help you navigate these new travelling challenges:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
