What are some of the general tips for travellers to Algarve during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a range of new restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Algarve a smooth one:
  • Before booking your flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and travel websites.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
  • To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put 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.
