Eden Valley Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you're planning an escape to Eden Valley, the following tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

• Know the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book your flight.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, like your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
