If it’s your first time traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you’ll no doubt notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Denmark go off without a hitch:
- Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you’ll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
- When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
- You’re no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
- One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you’ll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
- To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
- Separate any food you’re carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
