Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Sotavento due to COVID-19?
Many airlines now offer more flexibility due to COVID-19. Our convenient Customer Service Portal will help you solve most questions about which policies apply to your flight. It's also worth checking the terms and conditions of your fare — preferably before purchasing your tickets!

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Sotavento during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed the world in so many ways, including our approach to travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Sotavento:
  • Find out what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check in advance.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner 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 be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • If you want to take food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
