Serra de Arrabida Vacations from ￥193,050

With new COVID-19 safety guidelines to follow, travel looks a lot different at present. These are some helpful things to know before you pack your bags for Serra de Arrabida:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government websites.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
