Faial Island Packages (Flight + Hotel)

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a raft of new regulations and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Faial Island go off without a hitch:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.

As countries reopen and we begin exploring the world once more, many airlines have adopted measures such as social distancing to help lessen the spread of COVID-19. Below are a few great examples:

• SATA Air Acores - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Azores Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and capped capacity flights.
