What are some of the general tips for travelers to Santo Antao during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling today comes with greater challenges. Take note of these helpful tips before boarding your flight to Santo Antao:
  • Before committing to anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
  • To reduce the potential 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.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
