Low Tatras Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice a host of new standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Low Tatras go off without a hitch:

• Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To avoid 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 agent.
• 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 for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.

As restrictions lift and people begin flying again, many airlines have adopted precautionary measures like social distancing to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. Below are a couple of excellent examples:
