Division No. 14 Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a range of new rules and restrictions in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Division No. 14 go off without a hitch:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. 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 handle and inspect your belongings.

In order to minimize contact between travellers and flight crew for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of airlines have taken social distancing and other precautionary measures to the skies. A great example of these are:

• WestJet - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and electrostatic cleaning.
• Air Canada - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
