Fohr Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how the world works in all kinds of ways, including our approach to travel. These tips will help you understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Fohr:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
