10 European Commission recommendations for travelling safely in coronavirus times.

Book tickets and check-in online to avoid queues, when possible
Respect social distancing during luggage drop-off, security checks, boarding and baggage claim
Fewer passengers may be allowed on board and you might be asked to sit at a distance from passengers who are not part of your household.
When social distancing is difficult to ensure, you might be asked to wear face masks
Food, beverages and other goods may not be available on board
Transport companies may install protective barriers, for example between passengers and a coach driver. You may be asked to board through the back door
Drivers should open doors automatically at every stop, so passengers don’t have to touch buttons or handles
Stations, ports and airports should guarantee regular cleaning and disinfection and provide sanitising/disinfecting products, including on board
There should be appropriate ventilation on all transport
Passengers can choose between refund or rerouting for cancelled tickets. If the transport company offers a voucher, you still have the right to ask for a refund
