Lenauer Forst Trip

COVID-19 has changed the world in many ways, and travel has changed with it. These tips will help you better understand these new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Lenauer Forst:

• Look into 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 don't forget to check before you lock in your flight.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• 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 for X-ray screening.
• Remove items from your pockets, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're taking food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
