Arberland Trip

With new COVID-19 rules and measures in place, travel looks a bit different these days. These are some handy things to know before you jet off to Arberland:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're bringing food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
