The Pearl-Qatar Holidays from £560

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed how the world works in endless ways, and travel has changed with it. These tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your journey to The Pearl-Qatar:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
