Mamaia Vacations

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed the world in many ways, including how we're able to travel safely. These tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your journey to Mamaia:

• Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
