Northern Rogaland Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Northern Rogaland, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Before you lock in a flight, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government websites.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Instead, place your pass on the scanner 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 luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
