Eastern Plains Packages (Flight + Hotel)

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a host of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Eastern Plains go off without a hitch:

• Research the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• 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 have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.

Social distancing is only one small part of new air travel strategies to ease the spread of COVID-19. From the waiting lounge to your designated seat, these carriers will carry you to your destination with greater peace of mind:
