Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my flight booking to Transylvania due to COVID-19?
If you haven't booked yet, read the terms and conditions of your preferred airline. If you've already purchased your flight to Transylvania, click through to our Customer Service Portal. It will help you determine which COVID-19 policies apply to your booking and offer advice on the next steps.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Transylvania during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has ushered in huge changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Transylvania, these tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"
  • Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA is now allowing 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.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
