Island of Venice Holidays from £1,287

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with a few more challenges than usual. Take note of these helpful tips before jumping on your flight to Island of Venice:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• To reduce the likelihood of 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 agent.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
