L'Extreme-Sud Vacations

With new COVID-19 safety measures in place, travel looks a lot different at the moment. Here are a few things to know before you pack your bags for L'Extreme-Sud:

• Understand the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
