Madeline Island Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Madeline Island a smooth one:

• 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 travel advisories.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.

In order to reduce contact between passengers and flight crew for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, most airlines have taken social distancing and other preventive measures to the skies. Just some of these are:

• Southwest Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• Delta - this airline is known for electrostatic cleaning and cleaning with disinfectant.
