Karwendel Holidays

With new COVID-19 safety measures to adhere to, travel looks a bit different at the moment. These are some helpful things to know before you pack your bags for Karwendel:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then 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 to be screened.
• To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're planning to take food on board, put 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 carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
