Montes del Guadiana Holidays from AU$2,998

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice new rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Montes del Guadiana go off without a hitch:

• Research what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you lock in your flight.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA now permits 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 screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
