Barbagia Vacations

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed the world in countless ways, including our approach to travel. The following tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Barbagia:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
