Klostertal Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning an escape to Klostertal, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Put any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
