Lac Saint-Jean Holidays

With the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with more challenges. Take a look at these handy tips before jumping on your flight to Lac Saint-Jean:

• Before you book a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
• Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you have for 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 employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
