Golan Heights Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how the world works in many ways, including our approach to travel. These tips will help you better understand these new challenges and get you ready for your escape to Golan Heights:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government websites.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. 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 luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
