Midlands Meander Trip

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in many ways, including how we're able to travel safely. The following tips will help you better understand the new challenges and prepare you for your holiday in Midlands Meander:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked.
• Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
