East Frisian Islands Trip

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Cast your eye over these helpful tips before hopping on your flight to East Frisian Islands:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
