Ribeira Sacra Vacations

With new safety guidelines to follow, travel looks a lot different nowadays. These are some handy things to know before you get on that plane to Ribeira Sacra:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
