Valloire-Valmeinier Holidays

COVID-19 has transformed the world in a profound way, including how and where we travel. These tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Valloire-Valmeinier:

• Find out the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock in your flight.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
