La Antilla Vacations

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our zest for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle the new challenges of traveling:

• Find out if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
