Asine Holidays

With new restrictions and safety precautions in place, travel looks a lot different nowadays. These are some handy things to know before you pack your suitcase for Asine:

• Before booking your flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for screening.
• Empty everything from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
