High Black Forest Trip

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with more challenges than in the past. Take note of these valuable tips before jumping on your flight to Hochschwarzwald:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
