Eagle Mountains Trip

In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling today comes with more challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before hopping on your plane to Eagle Mountains:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
