North New Territories Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in ways big and small, and travel has changed with it. The following tips will help you better understand the new challenges and prepare you for your escape to North New Territories:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
• Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you want to take food on the plane, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
