Northeastern Vermont - St. Johnsbury Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered big changes to the way we travel. If you're flying to Northeastern Vermont - St. Johnsbury, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
