Parang Mountains Trip

In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges. Take a look at these helpful tips before jumping on your flight to Parang Mountains:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
