Lusatian Mountains Trip

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Make a note of these handy tips before hopping on your flight to Lusatian Mountains:

• Before committing to anything, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, 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 for X-ray scanning.
• Remove items from your pocket, like your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• 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 officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
