What are some of the general tips for travellers to Salento Peninsula during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a few more rules and restrictions in place. Take note of these tips and make your getaway to Salento Peninsula a smooth one:
  • Before you book a flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and airport websites.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
