Kofinas Trip

With new restrictions and safety precautions to adhere to, travel looks a bit different in this day and age. These are some helpful things to know before you hop on that plane to Kofinas:

• Before you book a flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
