Forøya Trip

With new COVID-19 safety guidelines to adhere to, travel looks a bit different right now. These are some handy things to know before you pack your suitcase for Forøya:

• Know what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you lock something in.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
