Päijänne Tavastia Holidays

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world in all sorts of ways, including our approach to travel. These tips will help you better understand the new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Päijänne Tavastia:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
• Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• If you're taking food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
