Division No. 4 Packages (Flight + Hotel)

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't curbed our passion for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:

• Before locking in your flight, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for scanning.
• Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. 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.
