Logar Valley Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice new rules and regulations in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Logar Valley go off without a hitch:

• Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and travel websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
