Lake Cumberland Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about huge changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Lake Cumberland, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
