Arumeru Trip

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few extra challenges. Cast your eye over these useful tips before boarding your flight to Arumeru:

• Before you lock in a flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. 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 screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
