Sotra Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice plenty of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Sotra a smooth one:

• Before booking your flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.

Physical distancing is just the start of new travel industry measures to help combat COVID-19. From the moment you check in, these carriers will whisk you away to your destination with greater peace of mind:
