Chapada Diamantina Vacations

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how the world works in all kinds of ways, including how we can travel safely. The following tips will help you better understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Chapada Diamantina:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA is now permitting 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.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray 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 employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
