Bregenz Forest Holidays

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Make a note of these helpful tips before hopping on your plane to Bregenz Forest:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

Take to the skies now and you're bound to see some changes. For instance, most reputable carriers have introduced social distancing policies and improved hygiene standards. Two of these are:

• Wizz Air - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
