Lac Saint-Jean - Saguenay Trip

COVID-19 has affected how the world works in so many ways, including our approach to travel. These tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Lac Saint-Jean - Saguenay:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Place any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.

From the airport itself to the plane cabin, airlines across the globe are implementing measures like social distancing to help in the fight against the COVID-19 virus. Two excellent examples are:

• Pascan Aviation - this airline is known for electrostatic cleaning and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Air Canada - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and cleaning with disinfectant.
