Schiermonnikoog Island Trip

With new restrictions and safety precautions in effect, travel looks a bit different these days. Here are some useful things to know before you pack your bags for Schiermonnikoog Island:

• Investigate what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book your flight.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily for ID purposes.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
