Barlavento Islands Holidays

With the continued impacts of COVID-19, travelling today comes with some extra challenges. Make a note of these handy tips before hopping on your plane to Barlavento Islands:

• Before you lock in a flight, check 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 ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
