Laâyoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Laayoune-Boujdour-Sakia-Hamra, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner 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 bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
