Bohemian Paradise Trip

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice plenty of new rules and restrictions in place. Follow these tips and make your getaway to Bohemian Paradise a smooth one:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
