Coffee Triangle Holidays

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Read through these handy tips before boarding your plane to Coffee Triangle:

• Before you lock in a flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
• 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 pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your small change and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
