Haliburton Highlands Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a range of new restrictions and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Haliburton Highlands a smooth one:

• Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you lock in your flight.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• To decrease the risk 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.
• TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
