Tarentaise Valley Vacations

The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't done away with our desire to explore. Here are some tips on how to deal with the new challenges of traveling:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, put 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 carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
