If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a raft of new restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Blue Ridge Mountains a smooth one:
  • Before you book a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • If you're planning to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
