Sangre de Cristo Mountains Vacations

Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling now comes with a few extra challenges. Have a read over these valuable tips before boarding your flight to Sangre de Cristo Mountains:

• Research what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
