La Gomera Holidays

In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with a few more challenges than usual. Take a look at these useful tips before hopping on your flight to La Gomera:

• Investigate the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
