Hallingdal Trip

With new restrictions and safety precautions to adhere to, travel looks a bit different nowadays. Here's what you should know before you jet off to Hallingdal:

• Before you book a flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
