Farres Trip

With new COVID-19 safety measures to adhere to, travel looks a lot different nowadays. Here are a few things to know before you hop on that plane to Farres:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're bringing food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
