La Alcarria Holidays

With new safety guidelines to follow, travel looks a little different at the moment. Here's what you need to know before you head off to La Alcarria:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

• Iberia - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Air Europa - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and conducting passenger temperature checks.
• Iberia Express - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
