If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Linosa a smooth one:

• Research what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
