Burgazadasi Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how the world works in many ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Burgazadasi:

• Before locking in your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
