Quirimbas Archipelago Vacations from ￥214,650

If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll notice a raft of new rules and restrictions in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Quirimbas Archipelago a smooth one:

• Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking official government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) 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 means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
