Dagana Department Trip

With new COVID-19 safety guidelines in effect, travel looks a little different in this day and age. Here's what you should know before you head off to Dagana Department:

• Research what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
