What are some of the general tips for travellers to Santa Ynez Valley during the COVID-19 outbreak?
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges. Take a look at these valuable tips before hopping on your plane to Santa Ynez Valley:
  • Research if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check government advisories before booking.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
  • Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • If you're planning to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
