Menorca Vacations

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling today comes with a few extra challenges. Take a look at these useful tips before boarding your plane to Menorca:

• Know the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book your flight.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
