Mieminger Plateau Holidays

With new COVID-19 rules and measures to adhere to, travel looks a little different in this day and age. Here's what you should know before you hop on that plane to Mieminger Plateau:

• Before booking your flight, find out if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and travel websites.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• Separate any food you have 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 touch and inspect your belongings.
