Damaraland Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how the world works in all kinds of ways, including our approach to travel. The following tips will help you better understand the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Damaraland:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
