Kinbrook Island Provincial Park Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a few more rules and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Kinbrook Island Provincial Park go off without a hitch:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of 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.
