Windley Key Trip

With strict COVID-19 precautions to adhere to, travel looks a lot different at the moment. These are some helpful things to know before you pack your bags for Windley Key:

• Look into what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
