Russian Far East Vacations from ￥347,994

If it's your first time traveling during COVID-19, you'll notice a host of new restrictions and standards in place. Follow these tips and make your getaway to Russian Far East go off without a hitch:

• Know what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check in advance.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position 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 luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.

Physical distancing is just one element of new aviation strategies to minimize the spread of COVID-19. From the waiting lounge to your designated seat, these airlines will whisk you away to your destination with comfort and confidence:
