Nord-Trondelag County Trip

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Cast your eye over the following tips before boarding your plane to Nord-Trondelag:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
