Pirineo Catalán Vacations

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Pirineo Catalán, these tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges:

• Before you book a flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and airport websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, 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 need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
