Dordogne River Valley Vacations

COVID-19 has brought about big changes to how we travel. If you plan to visit Dordogne River Valley, the following tips will help you navigate these new traveling challenges:

• Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• To decrease the risk 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 agent.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
