Sierra de Guadarrama Holidays

With new restrictions and safety precautions in effect, travel looks a lot different in this day and age. These are some handy things to know before you pack your bags for Sierra de Guadarrama:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
