Stara Planina Holidays

With new safety guidelines to follow, travel looks a bit different at present. These are some handy things to know before you head off to Stara Planina:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
