Travel During the Pandemic
Airlines adhered to the new safety and hygiene protocols required by the WHO, adapting the way of traveling for this new moment.

It is always recommended to check in online or via the app. If the passenger needs service at the counter, the distance of 2 meters is the minimum standard required.
At some airports, a self-service and baggage drop-off service is also available without contact with employees, avoiding exposure and contamination.
Inside the plane
Inside the plane, concern about contamination is something that afflicts travelers, but planes have an air filtration system similar to that of hospitals, which reduces the chance of contamination by the coronavirus and other bacteria.
The way in which passengers are distributed among the seats on the flight can also prevent contamination, as people do not sit facing each other and the use of a mask is mandatory on board the plane.
In the on-board service, procedures are to serve pre-packaged meals and offer passengers wipes or something equivalent to clean their hands and seat, for greater hygiene and convenience.
Landing
After landing, it is time to follow the crew's instructions and avoid crowding in the corridors when disembarking. The ideal is to remain seated in your seat and wait for the call to leave the aircraft.
At airports, the presence of relatives or drivers waiting for someone to arrive is no longer allowed.
