Dead Sea Vacations from NT$20,289

If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your journey to Dead Sea go off without a hitch:

• Look into what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check in advance.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• TSA now permits 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 at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
