Askø Holidays

With new COVID-19 safety measures in effect, travel looks a lot different at present. Here are a few things to know before you hop on that plane to Askø:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
