Weinviertel Trip

In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with some extra challenges. Have a read over the following tips before jumping on your plane to Weinviertel:

• Before you book a flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and travel websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked.
• To avoid cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
