What are some of the general tips for travelers to Madeira Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has changed how we travel, but it hasn't curbed our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
