Paroisse Saint-Aurélien Trip

With new COVID-19 rules and measures in effect, travel looks a lot different in this day and age. Here are a few things to know before you pack your suitcase for Paroisse Saint-Aurélien:

• Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
