Loutraki-Perachora Vacations

COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our appetite for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to deal with the new challenges of traveling:

• Look into the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check government advisories before booking.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
