Ionian Coast Vacations

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world in ways big and small, including how we're able to travel safely. The following tips will help you better understand these new challenges and get you ready for your escape to Ionian Coast:

• Before committing to anything, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• 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 open and touch your bag for inspection.
