Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Holidays

With the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, travelling now comes with more challenges than in the past. Take a look at these useful tips before boarding your plane to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area:

• Before locking in your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.

From well-spaced seating to face masks, gloves and sanitizer, airlines have implemented various strategies to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Some of these carriers include:

• Delta
• Alaska
• JetBlue
