São Jorge Island Vacations

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to big changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Sao Jorge Island, these tips will help you navigate this new traveling reality:

• Understand the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you lock in your flight.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you want to take food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
