Paroisse Notre-Dame des Sources Trip

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to deal with the new challenges of travelling:

• Find out what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book your flight.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.

Take to the airways now and you'll likely notice some changes. For instance, many airlines have introduced social distancing policies and improved hygiene standards. Two great examples are:

• Ryanair - this airline is known for cleaning with disinfectant and providing passenger masks.
• Air Corsica - this airline is known for conducting passenger temperature checks and providing passenger masks.
