Franklin District Holidays

With the continued impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with greater challenges. Take a look at the following tips before boarding your flight to Franklin District:

• Know what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock something in.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
