Hel Peninsula Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in major changes to how we travel. If you plan to jet off to Hel Peninsula, the following tips will help you navigate this new travelling reality:

• Before booking your flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
• You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
