Jizera Mountains Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected how the world works in ways big and small, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Jizera Mountains:

• Look into the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock something in.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
