Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling now comes with a few extra challenges. Take a look at these handy tips before jumping on your plane to Bernese Alps: Find out if any restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check in advance. When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding. Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection. TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning. Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening. Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
