Amish Country Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected how the world works in all kinds of ways, including how we can travel safely. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your trip to Amish Country:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
• You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
• To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• 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.
• Empty everything from your pockets, such as your phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.

To help minimize contact between passengers and flight attendants during the COVID-19 outbreak, airlines have taken social distancing and other preventive measures to the skies. Just a handful of these are:

• American Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
• United Airlines - this airline is known for providing passenger masks and cleaning with disinfectant.
