Bedretto Valley Vacations from NT$55,997

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice new rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Bedretto Valley go off without a hitch:

• Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
