Reinøya Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and restrictions in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Reinøya a smooth one:

• Before booking anything, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• If you're bringing food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
