Paroisse du Saint-Mont Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered huge changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Paroisse du Saint-Mont, these tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, 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 bags. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
