Cast Iron Historic District Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed how the world works in all kinds of ways, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and get you ready for your holiday in Cast Iron Historic District:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Empty everything from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for screening. 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 handle and inspect your belongings.
