Lechtal Alps Vacations

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice new rules and restrictions in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Lechtal Alps a smooth one:

• Before you book a flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking official government websites.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
