Tahoe Donner Holidays

COVID-19 has changed how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how we travel. These tips will help you navigate these new challenges and get you ready for your flight to Tahoe Donner:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
• When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• To reduce the likelihood 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 employee.
• You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
• Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
