Versilia Vacations

With strict COVID-19 precautions to adhere to, travel looks a little different these days. These are some handy things to know before you fly off to Versilia:

• Research the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
