Haramsøy Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice plenty of new restrictions and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Haramsøy a smooth one:

• Find out the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. After that, 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 baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. 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.
