Laayoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra Trip

With new COVID-19 rules and measures in effect, travel looks a lot different right now. Here's what you should know before you pack your suitcase for Laayoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra:

• Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book your flight.
• When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
